Segments of the Custis Trail will be closed for milling and repaving work beginning as soon as today (Monday).

A roughly two-mile stretch of the popular walking and biking trail will be closed in three segments:

  • March 30 – April 3, 2026: N Oak St to 21st St N (near Mom’s Organic Market)
  • April 6-13: N Lincoln St (Hayes Park) to Langston Blvd (Lyon Village)
  • April 13-15: Langston Blvd (Lyon Village) to 21st St N (near Mom’s Organic Market)

The work is intended to “improve ease of access and overall trail conditions,” according to a project page. The exact dates are subject to change based on weather conditions.

“Please use caution and follow all posted signs on the trail,” the page says. “Consider using Bike Arlington’s Bicycle Comfort Level Map to plan alternative routes.”

The project is part of the Department of Parks and Recreation’s annual trail and bridge maintenance program, agency spokesperson Jerry Solomon told ARLnow.
