Underpass Lights Out?

[Tim Kelley]

If anyone rides Four Mile Run Connector Trail and has the time and inclination, can you let me know what the status of lights in the underpasses?

I think I noticed some out under 395 and well as Route 1/Potomac Ave/GW Parkway last week, but I was in a hurry to make it to the airport so I didn’t have time to stop.

2 weeks ago I noticed all the lights under 395 were out. I’m sure someone else has more up to date information though.

I passed through there on a ride last evening, and from what I remember:

Route 1/Potomac Ave/GW Parkway – some out
Mount Vernon Ave – all working
W Glebe Rd – all out
I-395 – all out

[Tim Kelley]

Thanks for the initial reports. Can someone grab the exact details of the Route 1/Potomac Ave/GW Parkway situation? (E.g., How many out of how many?)

I’ll try to do this on the way home.

I’ll check tonight as well.

Surveyed the lights this evening

From East to West

GWMP – 3 lights – 0 on (possibly the photocell is set slightly differently)
WMATA – 1 light – 1 on
Railroad Bridge – 3 lights – 2 on
Potomac Ave – 6 lights – 3 on
Abandoned RR Bridge – 4 lights – 3 on
Abandoned RR Bridge – 5 lights – 4 on
Ped/Bike Trail – 1 light – 0 on
US Route 1 – 2 lights – 2 on
Mount Vernon – 4 lights – 1 on

Some of the fixtures had broken or missing covers

Lights under I-395 are all on and nice and bright.

Thanks for the update everyday–but now there are conflicting reports on the 395 lights. Are they all on, or are they all off?

[consularrider]

They were all on yesterday evening and this morning.

An update on the GWMP lights. They were off this morning when I rode through in the dark, so it appears they need some help.
