Project Progress - February 2026
Road, sidewalk and signal work are complete as of late 2025. Crews will conduct remaining quality assurance, small tasks and landscaping work in early 2026.
Sidewalk Work
Throughout the month of January, crews will be conducting sidewalk quality assurance and repair work between South Garfield Street and South Courthouse Road.
Expect short term lane closures during work hours to allow crews to access sidewalks safely. In cases where crews are working on the full width of a sidewalk, look out for detour signs to guide your path around the work site.

About the Project
This work is part of the Columbia Pike Multimodal project to make Columbia Pike a safer, more accessible route for all users. Arlington is transforming this main thoroughfare into a complete street that balances all modes of travel and supports high-quality, high-frequency transit service.
Before the project could could implement street level improvements, the project team performed utility work to below the roadway to replace aging and leak-prone water and sewer pipes.
Streetscape improvements include:
- Sidewalk upgrades, including widening where space is available, and leveling
- New streetlights
- Upgraded traffic signals
- Street trees
