As part of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project, roadway construction throughout the Telegraph Road interchange of the Capital Beltway (I-95-495) will require ramp and lane closures the week of July. Due to the holiday weekend, no construction activities will occur between Friday, July 2 and Monday, July 5.

Construction activities will commence on July 6. On or about July 6 work will begin on the Telegraph Road bridge over the CSX/Metro train tracks and Mill Road. Crews will install a protective shielding below the bridge for the train tracks and road below that will remain in place during bridge reconstruction.

For safety reasons and due to time restrictions required by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the portion of the work over the WMATA tracks can only occur between the hours of 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. Noise impacts are expected to be low, but local residents may hear the hum of generators and other machinery while the shielding is being installed. Independent noise monitors will be on site to ensure that noise levels do not go above predetermined thresholds.

The detailed lane/ramp closures and corresponding detours are found below:
