The changes are part of an overhaul of the northern segment of the parkway, which hasn’t seen a large-scale renovation since it opened about six decades ago.
A project to overhaul the George Washington Memorial Parkway is extending a temporary road reconfiguration about three miles south starting this weekend, bringing more frustrations for motorists who have faced delays since the project began two months ago.Beginning Saturday, the National Park Service, which oversees the parkway, will expand the work zone from the Route 123 interchange in Fairfax County to the Windy Run Bridge in Arlington County, closing a northbound lane.
By Saturday evening, lane stripping and traffic cones are expected be installed to guide commuters along the new route. Maloy said work will be done over the weekend in time for Monday’s commute. Aden Osman, who has driven a taxi in the Washington region for 23 years, said parkway changes have meant more delays since construction began in April. Some of his customers complain they shouldn’t be charged for the taxi’s meter while his car sits in traffic.
Maloy said some commuters driving toward the Beltway have mistakenly passed into the reversible lane and not been able to make their exit. In response, crews added signage advising drivers to stay in the right lane if they are going north.
