Earlier: All lanes of N. Glebe Road near Chain Bridge are reported to be blocked during this evening’s commute, due to a combination of a disabled vehicle and a large pothole.
The large pothole is in the northbound lanes, on a steep portion of the road between Military Road and Chain Bridge Road, according to initial reports. A VDOT crew is now on scene assessing possible repairs to the roadway.
“Traffic is being diverted to Military Road,” the county said in an Arlington Alert message. “Seek alternate routes.”
Drivers should also expect heavy traffic on Chain Bridge as a result of the closure.
The closure is not far from where an SUV overturned earlier today.
