Thanks for the help– Just wanted to make sure that you saw the new date for Rosslyn– Thursday, November 8th now (due to rain).
ParticipantNo stress– rest up!

I’m asking the Friends of the Mt. Vernon Trail to volunteer at the Rosslyn event, since we were talking about doing a light giveaway in conjunction with daylight savings. Will let you know how many folks can attend. I’ll be there for sure, but at 5:15 to 5:30ish.
Just wanted to make sure that you and the Friends saw the note about the rescheduled date– Thursday, November 8th!
ParticipantFour Mile Run Trail Detour tomorrow (10/18)
From my email:“A trail detour will be in place tomorrow, October 18, from 5:00am to 4:00pm. The South Four Mile trail will be closed between W Glebe Rd and S Meade St.”
I would greatly appreciate hearing reports back from anyone who rides this stretch during this time. Photos would be great, too.

Oh, wait – 2030. I’ll be retired by then.
I think providing comments about the near term needs for better bikeways through Rosslyn BEFORE 2030 is perfectly appropriate to mention.
ParticipantFrom my inbox: Be alert for some changes around the W&OD/Four Mile Run/Walter Reed intersection starting October 15th, weather permitting..
South Walter Reed Drive Improvements
– Phase I of construction will initially focus on the southeast corner of Arlington Mill/Walter Reed intersection and the northwest corner of the Four Mile Run/Walter Reed/W&OD Trail intersection. Any necessary detours will be signed in the field. These corner improvements will be addressed within the first week.
– Construction will then shift to the west side of Walter Reed Drive between Four Mile Run Drive and Arlington Mill Drive. Please note that the west side sidewalk will be closed during this time, and detours will be signed in the field to direct pedestrians and cyclists around the work. Commercial driveways will remain open during construction.
– Demolition work will also begin on Arlington Mill Drive in preparation for the refuge island improvements.
– Expected duration of Phase I: 15 weeks
– Work hours will be 9 am to 4 pm, Monday – Friday.Participant[ATTACH=CONFIG]18465[/ATTACH]
Just received the above as a press release. It appears the new traffic patterns for Memorial Bridge, including sidewalk closure of the downstream side, will begin on Monday, October 15.

To be clear: can someone ride to the Roosevelt Bridge now or is the western-most part (west of the T intersection) of the Trollheim damaged?
Came here to clarify this same note.
Also, here’s the quick update I received from NPS:
“Here’s a tweet about the closure. Bikers should detour on DC side by crossing TR Bridge to get north of the trail closure. We are working to open the trail before the evening rush hour, but we’re unsure of when the work will be done.”Appreciate all of your updates, fine folks of the Forum!

One day Henry and Erin are going to let me ride the Bike Arlington cargo bike for real.
Heck yes, we’ll let you ride it! Next time it and you are in the same place, let’s make it happen.

Does anyone know if Bike-O-Meters count scooters?
How intriguing. I will ask around.

I hope the frost heave at the bottom of the hill before climbing up to the moguls (RIP) is still there. It’s the perfect kicker to launch off and go “wheeeeeee!” as most of the lycra clad dudes avoid it.
You will be pleased, I believe. The root heave at the bottom of the hill before the moguls (heading west) remains.

I have received no update, but emailed this AM. This is solid intel from the field though that gives me hope!
Update: Construction manager is confident this work will be wrapped up on time, despite rains. A mogul-free Custis is in our collective futures!

So, is there an official change to the days for this? Or was it only blocked in the middle of the day? I was expecting to be blocked starting Tuesday morning (assuming they wouldn’t be set up 7ish am on Monday), but it was always open.
We didn’t receive any notice that the dates were changed on this, but a quick look at the project page shows that they pushed this work to the week of August 27th.
