Lane Closures on Ohio Drive SW September 22 to October 31
(Washington, DC)— The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA), in coordination with the National Park Service (NPS), will implement temporary lane closures along Ohio Drive SW to support utility work.
During this phase, the public may experience limited lane closures on Ohio Drive SW within East Potomac Park and observe additional construction vehicles.
Work is scheduled to start on or about September 22, 2025, and will occur during daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). These closure dates and times are contingent on suitable weather, field conditions, and/or adjacent construction activities.
Traffic controls, including signage, will guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zones. All roadway users are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and work zones while traveling in this area. These closures are needed for construction activities associated with the Long Bridge Project.
