City of Alexandria to Resurface Portions of U.S. Route 1 Beginning June 4
On June 4, the City of Alexandria will begin resurfacing all lanes of Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. Route 1) between Howell Avenue and Four Mile Run. Due to high traffic volumes during the day, paving will take place overnight on weeknights from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., weather permitting. The project is expected to be completed by June 22. Traffic in the immediate and surrounding areas may be redirected during work. Parking is not normally permitted in the work area, and nearby parking should not be affected. Please observe all parking and detour signage.

Due to heavy rainfall and recent storms throughout the region, substantial rainwater has accumulated in short periods of time, resulting in some nuisance flooding and sewer backups. The City is working to resolve these issues as soon as possible, to report a sewer backup use Call.Click.Connect or contact 703.746.HELP (703.746.4357).

Major Street Resurfacing Program
The City of Alexandria maintains and manages more than 560 lane miles of streets annually. In fiscal year 2017 City Council increased the City's paving budget to $6,650,000, a 18.75% increase over FY 2016. Additionally, the City participates in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) State Revenue Sharing Program as well as leverages grant opportunities as they become available. In July 2016, VDOT announced that the City will be awarded an additional $500,000 through the FY 2017 VDOT Primary Extensions Grant. This money will be used to pave sections of N/S Patrick St. (Route 1) and will allow for additional paving and related sidewalk improvements to be completed this fiscal year. City staff uses an objective pavement management system to identify the condition of roads in the City, with the goal of paving the worst streets first. This year's program will run from early-July through early fall, then resume on April 16. For detailed information about locations of paving projects and schedules, please see the information provided below.
