About the Project

The intersection of South Glebe and West Glebe Road experiences high volumes of motor vehicle traffic. The crossing is a critical connection between Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, the Four Mile Run Trail, the West Glebe Bridge, I-395, as well as nearby residences, businesses, and schools.

The intersection has been identified as a high collision intersection, and is part of Arlington County’s High Injury Network. Between 2015 and 2017 there were 24 reported collisions that vary from damage to property to physical injury.

Arlington County is committed to enhancing safety and access for all users at this intersection by improving the West Glebe Road bridge and improving the intersection through this project.
