Interchange Improvements
This project will rehabilitate the South Abingdon Street/34th
Street South bridge over I-395. Preliminary design plans include
resurfacing the concrete bridge deck and closing deck joints,
repairing concrete piers and abutments, adding protective
concrete barriers adjacent to piers, extending and adding
concrete in-fill walls between piers and replacing bearings. The
existing sidewalks on both sides of the bridge will remain and
the bridge bicycle lanes will be restriped as part of the project.
The bridge was originally built in 1970 and rehabilitated in
1994. Construction is expected to begin in 2023.
Estimated cost: $7.9 million
A Design-Build contract was awarded in June 2021 to improve
traffic operations for all users at the Boundary Channel Drive
at I-395 interchange. The project will reduce Boundary Channel
Drive from four lanes to two in order to construct an eight-footwide
eastbound sidewalk and a twelve-foot-wide westbound
shared-use path, install roundabouts just west and east of
I-395, reconfigure the ramps between I-395 and Boundary
Channel Drive and add crosswalks. The project will also add a
new shared-use path linking the Mount Vernon Trail to Long
Bridge Park. The project is in the design phase with construction
anticipated to begin in summer 2022.
Estimated cost: $19.6 million
