Beginning today, Tuesday, July 17th, the right westbound lane of E 53rd St between Elmore Circle and Lorton Ave will be closed for construction of a right turn only lane into Costco. This work is estimated to be complete around July 27th.
Additional traffic changes will occur as construction progresses, including the addition of a median, a traffic signal and a left turn only lane (with some street widening work). Information on these traffic control changes will be released as these phases of construction begin.
Traffic delays are to be expected while this work is performed. Motorists are advised to consider an alternate route, such as Kimberly Rd.
CitiBus Route 5, Blue Line, is anticipated to experience delays during peak travel hours as well. Use the website or the Transloc App for details on bus location and delays, details at www.citidbus.com.
