Over the holiday weekend, contractors will pour concrete curbs in preparation for asphalt paving early next week. Crews will restore traffic to the bare asphalt road first, and will complete the final milling, surface coat and lane-striping after the road has been reopened.

All four lanes of Dale Boulevard just west of Mapledale Avenue have been closed since May 12, when record-level rains left a 20-foot deep by 25-foot wide breach in the roadway.

Dale Boulevard is a heavily used commuter route, carrying about 26,000 vehicles per day. The road is closed between Mapledale Avenue and Nassau Drive, approximately four miles from its interchange with I-95.

Motorists should continue to follow the posted detours:

Motorists heading west on Dale Boulevard will use Ridgefield Road to Prince William Parkway, to Hoadly Road to Dale Boulevard.

Motorists heading east on Dale Boulevard will use Hoadly Road to Prince William Parkway, to Ridgefield Road to Dale Boulevard.  Local traffic will be able to access their neighborhoods.

Crews have worked 12-hour days and weekends to reopen Dale Boulevard
to traffic as soon as possible.

Contractors will pour concrete curbs over the weekend and lay asphalt
early next week.
