On Monday, April 21, the City of Alexandria’s Department of Transportation & Environmental Services (T&ES) will resume seasonal paving and street maintenance operations, expected to run through November 2025.  

The City is responsible for the maintenance and repair of sidewalks, alleys, and more than 561 lane miles of road. Each year, the City of Alexandria resurfaces approximately 50 lane miles of road and completes repairs to concrete curbs and gutters, followed by upgrades to curb access ramps to ensure they are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  

The following streets are scheduled for resurfacing and repair during the initial phase of the program:

• North Lee Street from King Street to Oronoco Street
• Second Street from Colonial Avenue to North Fairfax Street
• South Royal Street from Gibbon Street to Queen Street
• Portner Place from Portner Road to End
• Boyle Street from Buchanan Street to End
• Adams Avenue from Newton Street to Mount Vernon Avenue
• Newton Street from East Braddock Road to East Luray Avenue
• Price Street from East Bellefonte Avenue to Cliff Street
• West Windsor Avenue from Russell Road to Commonwealth Avenue
• Mayer Place from Allison Street to End
• Eisenhower Avenue Concrete at Lake Cook Entrance
• Duke Street from Roth Street to Wheeler Avenue
• Metro Road from Eisenhower Avenue to South Van Dorn Street
• Mill Road from Jamieson Avenue to Eisenhower Avenue
• Oak Street from Mount Vernon Avenue to Russell Road (unpaved segments)  

Residents whose streets are scheduled for resurfacing receive advance notice of paving work – typically by displayed project signs and/or door hangers. Temporary “No Parking” signs will also be posted before work begins. Please be sure to observe these signs to avoid tickets and potential towing of vehicles.

Normal paving operation hours are between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with some select work conducted overnight to accommodate heavily traveled roads. Heavy equipment, which may be noisy at times, will be used during paving activities. During paving hours, access to the affected street will be limited, but workers will allow for local traffic to pass through for driveway access. City staff will be on site managing the project, and at the end of each workday, roads will be fully open to allow for overnight parking and traffic.

The City of Alexandria is committed to roadway safety and proactively improving the infrastructure. Visit alexandriava.gov/Potholes for additional information about the City’s street resurfacing program. For questions about major street resurfacing, please use Alex311.
