August 2022 Road and Trail Conditions

[DrP]

Bluemont trail was being closed between Jefferson and Kensington Sts this morning (or maybe further from Kensington to W&OD – they were not yet done setting up closure). The signs at Jefferson were handwritten on white paper with a ball point pen, i.e., not really legible until at the location. No idea what they are doing, for how long, or who is doing the work. The unsigned (at that hour) detour was up Jefferson to 5th to Kensington back to the trail.

They’re making progress in Bon Air Park. Trail opened up outside of working hours.

Any updates when the Rock Creek tunnel bypass is going to open? I thought it was supposed to open by end of July but can’t find any updates anywhere.

I saw on Twitter somewhere that it was delayed because of a supply issue with the railings. Someone posted a picture yesterday showing the railing being installed, so it should hopefully be soon.
