Weather permitting, the westbound King Street (Route 7) ramps to northbound and southbound I-395 will be closed for paving tonight (June 3) and Wednesday night, (June 4), according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The ramps will be closed as follows:
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, drivers on Interstate 395 near the Pentagon on Friday and Saturday night can expect traffic shifts in both directions.
The work is part of a project to repair joints and other “minor” repairs at several bridges on I-395.
The Virginia Department of Transportation could be bringing changes to S. Van Dorn Street in Franconia, just south Alexandria, including possible bicycle/pedestrian improvements.
A Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions (STARS) study is set to complete next year and, as part of that study, VDOT is collecting feedback on what roadway improvements should prioritize.
VDOT has a quick warning for locals ahead of another winter storm anticipated later this week: don’t get cocky.
In release titled “don’t let your guard down”, VDOT said crews are pretreating roads in anticipation of a storm expected to run from Wednesday morning through Thursday.
The northbound I-395 ramp to Shirlington Circle will be closed tomorrow night, with traffic diverted to Parkfairfax.
The Virginia Department of Transportation said the closure is expected to last from 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, to 4 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, for rehabilitation work on the Shirlington Circle south rotary bridge.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) said it’s shutting down the northbound ramp to Seminary Road tonight (Thursday) for asphalt work.
The ramp at Exit 4 will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., weather permitting.
Good Wednesday morning, Alexandria!
☀️ Today’s weather: Expect sunny conditions and a high near 86 degrees, accompanied by a north wind at 5 to 8 mph. Wednesday night will be clear with a low around 66 degrees and a light northwest wind.
Shirlington Circle bridge has been closed for construction work for a few days before, and was closed from Saturday to Tuesday this week, but the bridge is going on what may be its longest hiatus yet.
The Virginia Department of Transportation said the bridge will be closed from 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 21, until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 28.
The Shirlington Circle south rotary bridge — which connects Shirlington to Alexandria — will be closed (again) this weekend for rehabilitation work on the bridge with drivers sent on a lengthy detour down I-395.
VDOT said in a release that the bridge will closed from 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, July 16.
If you were wondering about all the honking on I-395 this morning: a gander of geese briefly took over a portion of the express lanes near Edsall Road this morning.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) briefly shut down two lanes of I-395 and received an escort from Virginia State Police and Safety Service Patrol.
A proposal to add express lanes to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge is getting some pushback from the Coalition for Smarter Growth, which argued VDOT’s toll lane could take Metrorail’s right of way.
The Coalition says that, if enacted, the Virginia Department of Transportation’s 495 Southside Study will create traffic bottlenecks. They’re asking locals to voice their displeasure by emailing public officials, and say that the express lanes will not improve general traffic on the bridge and that more cars will avoid the bridge and spill onto local roadways.
