Columbia Pike west end construction update

(For work between South Jefferson Street and the Four Mile Run Bridge)

Upcoming changes at Dinwiddie bus stop during construction

Later in June, construction is expected to begin on South Dinwiddie Street just north of Columbia Pike. The work will include utility, curb and gutter, sidewalk and roadway construction.

This will require temporary changes to the bus stop on southbound Dinwiddie Street next to the Columbia Pike Plaza shopping center. Starting Monday, June 22, ART buses will not serve this stop. Instead, riders will board ART buses on Columbia Pike in front of the shopping center. Metrobus routes will continue to use the Dinwiddie stop. These changes are expected to be in place for approximately one month.

A temporary ART bus stop will be added across the street on eastbound Columbia Pike by the 7-Eleven, providing another option for riders during this work.

Transit stations construction update

Lane closure at Glebe Road next weekend

Weather permitting, crews are scheduled to pour concrete for the bus pad at the westbound Glebe Road station next weekend. The concrete pad will reinforce the roadway area where buses stop and pull off. This work requires a weekend-long lane closure.

Starting after 7 pm on Friday, June 19, the westbound curb lane on Columbia Pike near Glebe Road will be closed. The lane will remain closed all weekend and is expected to reopen early Monday morning, June 22. This schedule is dependent on weather and on the concrete achieving the required strength.
