A new intersection on Route 123/Chain Bridge Road north of Eaton Place has been activated – and is expected to be operational on or after Oct. 17.
This new intersection will provide vehicular access to and from Willow Crescent Drive at Chain Bridge Road, and a crosswalk that spans Chain Bridge Road north of Eaton Place.
Beginning Oct. 13, the intersection will undergo “flash operation” for at least 72 hours before it can become fully operational. This mandatory period required by VDOT ensures the intersection is thoroughly tested and ready for safe and efficient use.
During flash operations, drivers on Route 123/Chain Bridge Road will see flashing yellow lights. Traffic lights for Willow Crescent Drive will flash red. There will be no access to and from Willow Crescent Drive, and the crosswalk will not be in operation.
