Alexandria, Va. news and information you won’t find anywhere else.

Good morning, Alexandria.

Two lane closures start today near King Street Metro: westbound Duke Street loses its left lane between Diagonal Road and Callahan Drive from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays through mid-November, and southbound Holland Lane closes between Jamieson and Eisenhower avenues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for about four days, with a detour via John Carlyle Street. A King Street lane closure follows Wednesday. Early voting continues through Saturday, with evening hours until 7 p.m. at both Beatley Library and 132 N. Royal St. through Thursday.

At 4 p.m., the Library Board takes up a study of whether the library should become a city department.
