				$<div id="p7ssm_description" style="display: block;"><strong>Virginia Approach Spans</strong><br /> View looking west at the installation of structural steel recently placed as part of the Virginia Approach Spans in Jones Point Park. A total of 180 steel beams will be brought in for the outer loop bridge. The steel is manufactured in Manassas, Virginia and brought into Jones Point Park via tractor trailer. The length of the tractor trailer (over 100 feet) preclude driving on the Interstate during the day, so the shipments have to occur in the middle of the night under escort; another challenge is navigating the narrow streets of Alexandria, VA. <hr /> Note: Existing bridge to the right. <hr /> <em>Photo Credit: Trevor Wrayton, VDOT</em></div> <!--[if IE 7]> <style> #p7ssm, #p7ssm div {zoom: 1;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 6]> <style> #p7ssm a, #p7ssm, #p7ssm div, #p7ssm_thumb_wrapper {zoom: 1;} .p7ssm_thumb_section {padding-right: 0; padding-left: 0;} .p7ssm_thumb_section a {float: left;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 5]> <style> #p7ssm {text-align: center;} .p7ssm_sectionTrigger {text-align: left;} #p7ssm_navList li {float: left; clear:both; width: 100%;} #p7ssm, #p7ssm_w1, #p7ssm_w2, #p7ssm_description, #p7ssm_preview, #p7ssm_navList a, .p7ssm_sectionTrigger a, #p7ssm_thumbs, .p7ssm_thumb_section, #p7ssm_fsw {height: 1%;} .p7ssm_thumb_section {padding: 0;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 5.5000]> <style> #p7ssm, #p7ssm_w1, #p7ssm_w2 {zoom: 1;} </style> <![endif]--> <p> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- P7_SSMinit(3,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,15); //--> </script> </p> <div id="p7ssm_bottom"></div>$
				$<div id="p7ssm_description" style="display: block;"><strong>U.S. Route 1 Interchange</strong><br /> View looking west (from the Hunting Point Tower Apartment rooftop) of the South Washington Street deck over. The area below the deck, consists of the new outer loop Beltway (will be in the left tunnel and the express lanes are in the right tunnel ultimately). The recently paved road is the future outer loop local lanes. An interim operation will allow use of the two sets of lanes beginning in Summer 2005 so that work can proceed on the northern portion of the deck and on the existing Beltway. The concrete path coming up to the deck over will be the relocated Mt. Vernon bicycle/pedestrian trail. <hr /> <em>Photo Credit: PCC</em></div> <!--[if IE 7]> <style> #p7ssm, #p7ssm div {zoom: 1;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 6]> <style> #p7ssm a, #p7ssm, #p7ssm div, #p7ssm_thumb_wrapper {zoom: 1;} .p7ssm_thumb_section {padding-right: 0; padding-left: 0;} .p7ssm_thumb_section a {float: left;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 5]> <style> #p7ssm {text-align: center;} .p7ssm_sectionTrigger {text-align: left;} #p7ssm_navList li {float: left; clear:both; width: 100%;} #p7ssm, #p7ssm_w1, #p7ssm_w2, #p7ssm_description, #p7ssm_preview, #p7ssm_navList a, .p7ssm_sectionTrigger a, #p7ssm_thumbs, .p7ssm_thumb_section, #p7ssm_fsw {height: 1%;} .p7ssm_thumb_section {padding: 0;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 5.5000]> <style> #p7ssm, #p7ssm_w1, #p7ssm_w2 {zoom: 1;} </style> <![endif]--> <p> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- P7_SSMinit(3,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,15); //--> </script> </p> <div id="p7ssm_bottom"></div>$
