Demolition work related to the over Route 110 is set聽to close some ramps and lanes starting tonight at midnight.
During the closures, which are slated to last up to 30 minutes, workers will deconstruct聽the original bridge deck that was built there in 1941 and聽deemed聽鈥渟tructurally deficient鈥澛�.
The road closures are scheduled to occur between midnight and 4 a.m. at the following locations and times:
- Feb. 27-March 2: Ramp from eastbound Route 27 to northbound Route 110
- March 3-4, 6-9: Northbound Route 110
- March 10-11, 13-14: Southbound Route 110
- March 15-18: Ramp from westbound Route 27 to the Pentagon, and the ramp from the Pentagon to westbound Route 27
The demolition work is part of a $31.5 million 聽to聽replace the existing bridge, near the Pentagon, with a new structure that will聽expand the shared-use path to 14-feet wide and add an 8-foot sidewalk. The new bridge will also be longer, wider and taller than the existing bridge.
When complete, the newly rehabilitated bridge will include amenities such as low-level iron fences, LED lighting for pedestrians and four聽medallions commemorating the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
VDOT聽expects to put the finishing touches on聽the bridge next spring.
