Temporary Ramp Closure: Southbound from George Washington Memorial Parkway to I-66 Eastbound Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
(WASHINGTON, DC) — Beginning tentatively May 15, 2026, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close the southbound ramp from George Washington Parkway to I-66 eastbound Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. This ramp closure will remain in place through mid-August 2026. Note, ramp access to westbound US 50 (Rosslyn) will remain open during this period.
Concurrently with this closure, the US 50 ramp from Arlington Boulevard to I-66 eastbound Theodore Roosevelt Bridge will reopen to traffic.
A posted detour will be in place for the southbound ramp utilizing the George Washington Memorial Parkway to Arlington Memorial Bridge.
 To minimize traffic delays, DDOT also suggests commuters utilize alternate routes, including Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge to Whitehurst Freeway to E Street NW, as shown below.
 This closure is necessary for the ongoing rehabilitation of the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge to perform structural repairs and replace the bridge deck. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and use alternate routes during this period. DDOT encourages all travelers to stay alert and follow posted signage for safe and efficient travel through the area.
