Telegraph Road Closed This Weekend

Portions of Telegraph Road in both directions will be closed from this Friday at 9 p.m. through Sunday at 9 p.m.

Northbound Telegraph Road will be closed from the ramp to Eisenhower Avenue to Duke Street. Telegraph Road South will be closed between Duke Street and Mill Road. 

In addition, North Kings Highway will be closed in both directions between Kathryn Street and Telegraph Road.

"All construction-related work and dates are subject to change, depending on weather, material and contractor availability or other unforeseen conditions," according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. 

The closure is part of the three-part Woodrow Wilson Bridge project. According to VDOT: 

Reconstruction of the Telegraph Road Interchange at I-95 is the final phase of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project. The work includes three key components. The first involves widening a two-and-a-half-mile section of the Capital Beltway, extending the new THRU and LOCAL lane configuration from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. The second involves building new elevated ramps connecting the Beltway to Telegraph Road, Eisenhower Avenue and related side streets. Finally, work will help facilitate better flow of traffic along the Telegraph Road corridor and to/from the Beltway.
