ALEXANDRIA, Va. — City crews will repave one street and do concrete work at four locations during the week of Aug. 24, the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services said.
Repaving is scheduled on Summers Drive, from Russell Road to the end.
Concrete work is planned at King Street and Dawes Avenue, at King Street and Park Center Drive, at Mount Vernon Avenue and West Glebe Road, and on storm inlets along North Overlook Drive from Tennessee Avenue to the end.
Paving hours run 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless otherwise posted, and streets reopen fully at the end of each work day. Crews allow local traffic through for driveway access while work is underway.
Residents and businesses on streets scheduled for repaving get notice about a week ahead, through project signs or a flier, and temporary no-parking signs go up before work starts. The city says vehicles left in work areas will be towed, and that the paving program coordinates with parking enforcement and tracks the signs electronically.
The schedule can change. The city cites weather, equipment, other projects and utility coordination as factors, and notes hot-mix asphalt can only be applied in warm, dry weather.
Alexandria has more than 561 lane miles of road and resurfaces roughly 50 of them a year. Streets are scored from 1 to 100 on a pavement condition index, with the lowest-rated repaved first; the city aims to resurface arterials every eight to 12 years and residential streets every 10 to 15.
