The busy exit from northbound N. Lynn Street in Rosslyn to the GW Parkway may remain closed to start the new year.
The lanes that allow drivers to exit onto the Parkway just before the Key Bridge are closed after a crash that took out a traffic signal, just before Christmas.
LOCATION: NB Lynn St exit to NB GW Parkway
INCIDENT: Traffic Collision
IMPACT: Due to a traffic signal outage caused by a traffic collision the ramp from NB Lynn St to NB GW Parkway is closed until at least Monday, December 27. pic.twitter.com/VeCMmqow7N— Arlington Alert (@ArlingtonAlert) December 23, 2021
Arlington’s public works department was hoping to have a temporary pole up today or tomorrow, allowing the exit to reopen, but a lack of staffing around the holidays may foil those plans.
“The signal pole might not be up until Monday [Jan. 3] because, among non-technical issues, contractor staffing is thin as a result of the holidays and Covid,” said Arlington Dept. of Environmental Services spokesman Peter Golkin.
“The permanent pole, equipment cabinet and related items were completely knocked out by a driver last Thursday so it’s not a simple repair job,” Golkin noted. “The temporary fix will have to be replaced at some point for new permanent equipment.”
