ALEXANDRIA, Va.—On September 9, the Virginia Department of Transportation will start rebuilding the ramp that carries traffic from Little River Turnpike (Route 236) eastbound to I-395 northbound. All trucks, buses and recreational vehicles will be detoured around the construction site for the next 18 months. The ramp will still be accessible to cars.

Trucks, buses and recreational vehicles will be detoured past the ramp on Route 236 east, cross I-395, exit onto Van Dorn Street, turn left at the traffic signal, and take Route 236 west to the I-395 north exit on the right. Detour signs will be placed throughout the route.

The reconstruction of the overpass includes installing a new concrete deck, the approach curb, guardrails, and new lighting. The $3.7 million project is scheduled to be completed by mid December 2009.
