The City of Alexandria’s Department of Transportation and Environmental Services announced on April 24 that several streets are scheduled for repaving and maintenance from April 27 through May 1. The work will affect more than a dozen locations, with advance notice provided to residents and businesses via project signs or letters.
The street maintenance program is important for keeping sidewalks, alleys, and over 561 lane miles of road in good condition so that pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and all users can travel safely throughout the city. Temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted before work begins to ensure vehicles do not obstruct operations. Residents are asked to observe these signs to avoid tickets or towing.
Scheduled streets include Hillside Terrace (from Crest Street to Valley Drive), Summit Avenue (from Cameron Mills Road to Dogwood Drive), Jamieson Avenue (from Holland Lane to West Street), North Peyton Street (from King Street to end), South Peyton Street (from King Street to Duke Street), Old Dominion Boulevard (from W. Glebe Road to Four Mile Run), LaVerne Avenue (from E. Glebe Road to Wilson Avenue), Rapidan Court (from Polk Street to end), Holmes Run Parkway (from N. Chambliss Street to end), Hawthorne Avenue (from Hatton Court to Holmes Run Parkway), West Bellefonte Avenue (from Russell Road to Commonwealth Avenue), Hatton Court (from Doris Drive to City limits) and West Abingdon Drive (from Washington Street to end).
