(Updated at 11:25 a.m.) Those who commute over the Chain Bridge will need to find a different route this week, starting tomorrow.
Arlington’s Dept. of Environmental Services says N. Glebe Road and Chain Bridge Road will be closed just before the entrance to Chain Bridge for much of the week, due to water main repair work.
The closures are set to be in effect from 6 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday to Friday.
“No water service impacts are anticipated,” DES said in a tweet. “A traffic detour will be in place.”
That section of roadway was the scene of a major water main break in November, which disrupted water service to a large section of Arlington County.
“There is a confirmed leak at the same location where the November 8… water main break occurred,” DES spokeswoman Kathryn O’Brien tells ARLnow. “This leak is a low volume leak. Crews have isolated the water main and will begin repairs tomorrow.”
Separately, work is currently underway on a $4.5 million water main rehabilitation project on a nearby section of N. Glebe Road.
Upcoming Road Closure: N Glebe Rd and Chain Bridge Rd will be closed this Tues. to Fri. from 6am to 6pm for a water main repair. No water service impacts are anticipated. A traffic detour will be in place. Please seek alternative routes. Questions? Call 703-228-6555 #vatraffic pic.twitter.com/ySfebyyHyM
