What's Being Done

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.

Lane Closures

Whenever possible, lane closures occur overnight between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. During weekdays, lane closures take place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with all lanes reopening on the Virginia side by noon on Fridays. No lane closures occur during rush hours, the weekends or holidays. Businesses and residential communities will remain accessible.

To allow for construction for future Beltway widening, traffic was narrowed from four lanes to three on the Beltway between Telegraph Road and the Eisenhower Avenue Connector in 2009. The first phase of a three-phase system involved constructing new portions of the Beltway on the Inner Loop, where traffic was shifted in December, 2009. The Outer Loop traffic switch is anticipated in Spring 2010, at which point the center lanes of the Beltway will be reconstructed. The final, widened Beltway is scheduled to open in 2012.
