For Immediate Release: Monday, June 13, 2016
Beginning in mid-June, the State Highway Administration(SHA) will begin a year-long resurfacing project on a six-mile stretch of the inner loop of the Capital Beltway, between I-270 and the Seminary Road overpass just west of Georgia Avenue.
During the first phase of the project, crews will work overnight, closing one or two lanes to remove the existing asphalt. The closures will begin at 9 p.m. each Sunday and reopen at 5 a.m. each Friday, with occasional overnight closures on Friday and Saturday nights, as well.
During phase two of the project next spring, up to three lanes may be closed overnight.
The project also will include repairs to the Capital Beltway inner loop bridge decks over Connecticut Avenue and Kensington Parkway, replacement of guardrails and upgrades to stormwater management inlets and pipes.
More information is available on SHA’s website.
