Construction starting at Arlington Ridge Road and S. Lang Street intersection

 

On Monday, Nov. 16, crews will begin work on a safety project at the intersection of South Arlington Ridge Road and South Lang Street, near Gunston Middle School. This past summer the County Board approved a contract with M&F Concrete Inc. to construct the improvements, which are expected to be complete in spring 2021.

 

As part of efforts to improve safety around school zones, this project will close the southbound Lang Street slip lane at the intersection. The slip lane will be replaced with green space. A concrete median on Arlington Ridge Road also will be installed and the existing bus laybys will be replaced with wider sidewalks for safer bus access and to shorten crossing distances.

 

What to expect during construction:

  • Construction hours are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, with any lane closures occurring between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm
  • There will be temporary sidewalk closures during daytime and evenings. Detours will be marked directing pedestrians safely around the work zone.

Reminder: Survey for Route 1 Multimodal Study ends Nov. 15

 

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) invites residents and users of Route 1 to take a short survey by Nov. 15 to help shape a study of potential future multimodal improvements between 12th and 23rd Streets South in Crystal City.

 

The purpose of the Route 1 Multimodal Improvements Study is to identify enhanced multimodal connectivity and accommodations along Route 1, between 12th Street and 23rd Streets, to meet the changing transportation needs of the Crystal City and Pentagon City communities. Input received at this stage will help identify specific areas of interest and concern for those who bike, walk, ride or drive Route 1 in the study area.
