Another Chance to Shape Arlington's Transportation Future

Arlington County is advancing Arlington’s Transportation Future, an initiative to create a refreshed transportation plan that will better address the community’s transportation needs in the long run.

 

The future of transportation is taking shape! The County used community input to create the Vision and Goals for our next transportation plan. Now, you can help make them a reality. Share your feedback to help craft the modal priority networks, policies, and curb lane uses that will deliver our next transportation plan. Join the conversation online or at an in-person event to share your feedback! 

 

Talk to us in person (find an event)

  • Wed., Nov. 5, 4:00-7:00 PM - Bozman Government Center (2100 Clarendon Blvd.)
  • Sat., Nov 22, 1:30-4:30 PM - Arlington Mill Community Center (909 S. Dinwiddie St.)

Don’t miss your chance to help plan for the future of transportation in Arlington! The last day to share your feedback is December 7. Learn more about how to get involved at arlingtonva.us/TransportationFuture.

Arlington Ridge Road Bridge Will Narrow by Half Starting Nov. 12

Starting on Wednesday, November 12, the west half of the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue bridge will close for approximately 11 months for the first phase of bridge reconstruction, and all traffic will be shifted to the east side of the bridge, hot dog bun style.

  • There will be one vehicle lane in each direction, and the east sidewalk will remain open on the bridge
  • The Four Mile Run trail underpass on the Arlington County side will close intermittently for a few days at a time during periods of demolition work on the bridge surface; trail users will be able to detour via South Glebe Road and South Lang Street to reconnect with the Four Mile Run Trail

Learn more about the bridge reconstruction on the project page.

Pop Quiz: Do you stop at red arrow lights?

Let's go back to basics!

 

If you're approaching a signal and right turn arrow light is red, do you:

 

A) Turn right (what does a red light mean, anyway?)

B) Stop (red means stop, right?)

 

The correct answer is B: Stop. When a right turn light is red, you must stop and wait for the green light, and then you may turn.
