W&OD 2-month Closure for Four Mile Run Stream Repair near N. Madison St.

[Henry]

Arlington County will be undertaking an emergency construction project along Four Mile Run starting on February 11, 2019. The project will add soil and stone to the north bank of Four Mile Run between Ohio Drive and Patrick Henry Drive to protect the Washington & Old Dominion trail. The project will stabilize the stream bank, limit future erosion and address the current safety concerns for users of the trail.

The W&OD and Four Mile Run trails in this area will be closed to users during construction. A detour has been established.
Construction will begin around February 11, 2019 and will take approximately 4-8 weeks.
• The WO&D trail will be closed for approximately 4 weeks.
• Four Mile Run trail will be closed for the duration of construction.
• A short trail detour will be in place (see web site link for detour map).
• Clear directional signage will be provided along the detour route.

I was on the W&OD for the first time this year. I was surprised to see that this was apparently fixed. Does anyone know when it reopened?

According to my Strava data, it appears that it was reopened sometime between 6:15am and 3:47pm on Tuesday, March 19th.

It IS open and repaired. Be aware that if you are eastbound, there is not much room between the pavement and a steep drop-off into the eroded 4MR.
