About the Project

This project will rebuild 18th Street South between Fern and Eads Streets in order to continue the existing South Hayes Street protected bike lane further east.

Additionally, the intersection of 18th Street South and South Fern Street will be rebuilt to decrease crossing distances and decrease the existing impervious area. This will improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle safety at the intersection.

The project will also add stormwater retention and upgrade the streetscape, helping improve the connection between the core of Pentagon City and Crystal City.

Funding

The total project cost is estimated at $5.3 million in the FY2017-2026 Capital Improvement Plan, with funding from Arlington’s Transportation Capital Fund and an Arlington fund dedicated to infrastructure investment in Crystal City.
