Work on the bridge and nearby interchanges will cause lane closures and shifts. Here's a sampler of the coming week's activities:
Watch for lane closures on Route 1 between Franklin and Huntington avenues from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. tomorrow through Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday. Access to Old Richmond Highway will be closed at Huntington Avenue for road construction.
The left lane on the Capital Beltway inner loop will be closed from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow through Wednesday and 9 a.m. to noon Thursday between Route 1 and Van Dorn Street. Alternating lanes will be closed on Livingston Road at the Capital Beltway overpass from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow through Wednesday.
Bay Bridge Redecking
During the reconstruction project, the speed limit on the westbound span is 45 mph. Fines are doubled in the work zone. There are steel plates at various points in the travel lanes. Motorcycles must use the right lane.
HOT Lane Testing
The Virginia Department of Transportation is doing some test drillings for the construction of new lanes along the west side of the Capital Beltway. This is part of the plan to add high-occupancy or toll lanes.
Watch for off-peak lane and shoulder closures weekdays on the Beltway and local roads in the vicinity of Braddock Road, the Orange Line bridge and the eastbound Interstate 66 overpass.
