Dear Community Member,
The City of Alexandria will begin construction on the King/Callahan/Russell Intersection Improvements Project starting in October. This project will redesign the intersection of King Street, Callahan Drive, and Russell Road to enhance mobility, access, and safety for all roadway users, as well as improve access to Alexandria Union Station and King Street Metro Station. The project will also modify the existing signal timing to enhance movement through the intersection.
Site activity is expected to begin the first week of October. Work crews may be present onsite Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Construction activity impacting roadway and sidewalk access is limited to Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents and commuters should plan for potential delays.
The City of Alexandria invites you to learn more about this project at the King and Commonwealth Infrastructure Investments Open House taking place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4 at Alexandria Union Station, 110 Callahan Drive. The event, which is being co-hosted by Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) and Virginia Railway Express (VRE), will provide the public with an opportunity to learn about upcoming infrastructure projects taking place within the vicinity of King Street, Callahan Drive, and Russel Road intersection. More information about this event and other projects in this area can be found at alexandriava.gov/go/4904.
