Transitway Community Meeting on Oct. 8
County staff will hold a community meeting next week to provide an update on Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway construction and proposed operations and plans to repave and restripe Crystal Drive (see a description of the restriping proposal on the transit lanes page).
Date: Thursday, Oct. 8, 2015
Time: 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Location: Renaissance Inn, 2800 S. Potomac Ave., Arlington, VA 22202 (Studio B on 2nd Floor)
Coming Soon - Repaving of Crystal Drive
Before the Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway opens, the County will repave Crystal Drive between 15th and 26th Streets. The paving is expected to begin in the next few weeks and will last for several weeks, weather permitting.
Milling and paving operations may be performed at night in selected areas to reduce the impact on traffic, and some lanes may be closed to traffic during this work. The repaving will begin at 15th Street and then head south toward 26th Street.
When paving dates are confirmed, we will send out notifications through this email update, the Crystal City Civic Association and BID, and other channels.
Construction Traffic Changes at Clark/Bell and 18th Streets
For the next 4-6 weeks, southbound traffic on Clark and Bell at the 18th Street intersection will be limited to right turns only. Drivers should utilize 15th or 20th Streets if they need to turn left. All Metrobus and Metroway service will be provided at the usual stop locations. Some minor delays may occur due to detours along the route. These changes are due to construction for the Crystal City Multimodal Center project.
ART bus stops for routes 43 and 92 will be moved approximately 200 feet closer to 15th Street on South Bell Street, just after the Clark Street ramp. Look for the green ART bus signs at the temporary stop location. These routes may also experience some delays due to detouring.
The crosswalk on 18th Street on the west side of Bell Street is closed during this phase. Pedestrians can use the crosswalk on the east side of Bell Street.
