Arlington Ridge Road Bridge to Close over Four Mile Run for Eight Days

From Saturday, May 16 to Saturday, May 23, the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge will close during off-peak hours to allow crews to install and secure steel beams as part of the reconstruction of the west side of the bridge.

The bridge will be closed between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Outside of these hours, all traffic will continue to use the east side of the bridge.

Bus stops on Mount Vernon Avenue between West Reed Avenue and South Glebe Road will close. Metrobus routes A11 and A12 will detour via West Glebe Road.

About the Project

Arlington County is reconstructing the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge between Arlington and the City of Alexandria. Currently, crews are working on the west side of the bridge before proceeding to the east side of the bridge. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2027.

Parkway and Trail Detours for Long Bridge Project

May is National Bike Month, which means that this month we celebrate getting around by bike and make use of all the different bike facilities available in Arlington County.

Did you know? Arlington County was recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists for its infrastructure planning, community-mindedness, and inventive ways to encourage more people to ride. How do you celebrate bikability in Arlington?

How about people in cars? People driving have a special role in keeping people on bikes safe, by looking out for them before making turns or opening the door. Always look over both shoulders for other cars, and people biking and walking before you make a move.
