Construction Update: Arlington Ridge Road Bridge

Starting the week of November 10, 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.

• 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.
• The Four Mile Run Park and shopping center on the City of Alexandria side will be right-in/right-out only in front of the project.

About the Bridge Reconstruction Project

This is the first phase of reconstruction of the bridge, starting with reconstructing the west side of the bridge. After the first half of the bridge is rebuilt, the project will switch all traffic to the rebuilt west half to close and reconstruct the bridge. (Imagine a hot dog bun, and you work on one side first, and then the other.)
