Parkway and Trail Detours for Long Bridge Project

Look out for detours on the George Washington Parkway and the Mount Vernon Trail near the location of the Long Bridge Project by the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority.

Trail traffic is detoured on the west side of the work zone, and road traffic is detoured away from the work zone. Signs are posted to guide all traffic. Proceed with caution to protect yourself, workers, and other travelers.

About the Project

The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority’s Long Bridge Project is a 1.8-mile rail improvement that will improve reliability and expand capacity for both passenger and freight trains traveling between Virginia and Washington, DC. The project will create a continuous four-track corridor between the Long Bridge Aquatic Center in Arlington and L’Enfant Plaza in DC. It includes five new rail bridges and two new pedestrian/bicycle bridges.
