Another Accident at Dangerous On-Ramp

Another accident has occurred at the dangerous Washington Boulevard/Columbia Pike interchange.

The two-car accident happened this morning on the on-ramp from eastbound Columbia Pike to northbound Washington Boulevard. No injuries were reported, though the ramp was shut down for awhile.

The on-ramp was mentioned in our Most Dangerous On-Ramps list in February for its lack of room for merging cars to get up to speed.

VDOT is set to start work on a new Washington Boulevard/Columbia Pike bridge and interchange later this year.
