SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE NOTICE 

November 25, 2015 

 

Closure of Parking Lot of Former ERCO Plant Between the Rivertech Court
Cul-de-sac and Lafayette Avenue in Riverdale Park 

 

Work will soon begin on the much awaited new CSX crossing at Riverdale Park
Station. The bridge construction work is significant and requires the
closing of the former ERCO plant parking lot between the Rivertech Court
cul-de-sac and Lafayette Avenue. This route has been used for years as a
"short cut" from Lafayette Avenue to M-Square. The closure will begin on or
about December 14, 2015 and will continue until the new bridge is open -
estimated to be in April 2017. 

 

The initial construction activities include the relocation of existing
electrical and gas utilities that run parallel to the CSX tracks. Utility
relocations are necessary for the construction of the new bridge over the
CSX railroad tracks. 

 

Temporary detour signage will be installed at the point of the construction
directing bicyclists to an alternate route around the bridge construction.
In addition, Gateway Park along the Route 1 frontage of the site will soon
be open and provide bike/pedestrian access along Route 1. 

 

While this will create a temporary inconvenience for motorists, when
completed the new bridge will greatly improve mobility in the area. Below is
a rendering of the new bridge. 

 

The closure is scheduled to take effect on or about December 14, 2015 and
will continue until the new bridge is open - estimated to be in April 2017.
For any questions, please contact Robert Lockhart of Capital Construction
Consultants at 202-669-7157 or email at rlockhart at ccci-dc.com.
