The trail is closed for the day along the fenceline to the Dominion Substation just east of Eads
The crew had the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan on site and for this effort which sent cyclists across Four Mile Run and through the park. The MOT appears to have been developed, reviewed, and implemented by folks with no knowledge of the trail network in the area. Pesky details included lack of signage in the Alexandria Park and the unnecessary closure of the FMR Trail between Mount Vernon Ave and the west end of the wastewater plant – the trail is unaffected to the west of Eads (although this is shown as a warning).
Westbound cyclists were going around the Porsche dealer to Eads and continuing on FMR trail.

Unclear why BikeArlington, Parks and Rec (owners of the FMR Trail), Alexandria (owners of the detour route), and BAC/PAC hadn’t been notified.
Crew indicates the project/closure will be for just today. I spoke with the Dominion project manager and suggested they want to review this before the potentially longer closure in a couple of years to bring the power to the substation under the Four Mile Run.
