Chain Bridge will be closed again this weekend, from 9 p.m. on Friday, May 21 through 6:30 a.m. on Monday, May 24. District Dept. of Transportation officials say that, weather permitting, this should be the final weekend of the major part of the bridge overhaul. When it reopens Monday morning, the traffic pattern return to what it was before construction began: two lanes for inbound rush hour traffic in the morning, and two lanes for outbound rush hour traffic outbound in the evening.

Additional construction underneath the bridge will continue until August, which may involve temporary closures of one lane as necessary, but those closures should only occur during off-peak hours.

This weekend’s closure will again see zero access to the bridge from either the District or Arlington, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
