Paving on Army Navy Drive

Paving on Army Navy Drive between 12th Street South and South Joyce Street began this week and will continue through Oct. 24 (weather permitting). Work on the section of South Eads Street to 12th Street will be completed tonight and will then transition to South Eads and South Joyce Street. Paving is primarily taking place at night, between 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., in an effort to get the work completed promptly and to minimize traffic disruption.

 

Visit street maintenance for more information. If you have questions about this work, contact the Customer Call Center at (703) 228-6570.

 

Installing New Lane Markings on Crystal Drive

With the repaving of Crystal Drive complete, crews have begun installing the new lane markings. This work will continue through the weekend, during the daytime, and will involve rolling road closures. If night work occurs, noise should be minimal, with occasional truck backup alarms and leafblowers.

 

Construction Updates

ART Bus Facility

Installation of utilities (including electrical and storm drain) on the Route 1 side of the construction site is complete - night work is no longer taking place at this time. Installation of the onsite storm drain system will begin later this month. Crews are currently working to remove contaminated and unsuitable soils and are in the process of grading the south lot.
