This week's question about the new bus-only lanes in Crystal City and Potomac Yard, opening this spring: How do I identify a bus lane – what markings does it have?
- The rush hour bus lane in Crystal City is marked with diamond-shaped symbols on the pavement, as well as signs along the street and on overhead supports.
- The exclusive bus-only roadway in Potomac Yard is marked with diamond-shaped symbols on the pavement, the words “Bus Only” on the pavement, and “Do Not Enter” signs at all intersections.

ART Bus Facility
The remaining roadway improvements along South Eads Street, including utility, sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, will begin Monday, March 28. This will require temporarily removing part of the bike lane along South Eads in both the north and south directions. The sidewalk along the east side of South Eads Street from Glebe Road to Fort Scott Drive also will be closed for approximately four to six weeks until the new sidewalks are in place.
Onsite, crews continue working on the concrete slab, which will allow the rest of the building construction to begin. View construction photos on Flickr. Visit project page
Crystal City Multimodal Center
This week our contractor completed the construction of the concrete pavement sections for both sides of 18th Street under the Route 1 overpass. Crews continued reconstructing the sidewalk areas, installing pavers and constructing the curb and gutter on both sides of the street, and began excavation for the street light foundations.
During the next two weeks the contractor plans to install pavers on the westbound side of 18th Street in order to start the demolition of the existing sidewalk. Once the pavers are completed, pedestrians will use the newly installed paver section of the sidewalk area as the travel way on westbound 18th Street. Visit project page

Construction activities for Saturday, March 26 through Friday, April 1 are described in this week's construction update. Note that during the week there may be testing and adjustments of the lights on the Transitway stations.
