N1021 Transitway Extension to Pentagon City Segment IIA Project

The Transitway Extension to Pentagon City Segment IIA project involves the construction of a dedicated bus lane along 12th Street South in Crystal City, Virginia, between South Eads Street and Fern Street South. The project includes the installation of a center-running bus-only lane, two new transit stations at the intersection of 12th Street South and South Elm Street, and various accessibility and safety features such as ADA-compliant boarding platforms, detectable warning surfaces, prefabricated bus shelters with amenities like benches, bike racks, and trash receptacles. To support increased transit capacity, a concrete bus pad will replace the existing asphalt roadway pavement, and the entire area will be restriped to accommodate new traffic patterns and bus lanes. The project also encompasses associated work with the Segment I project, including the installation of rub rails, flag signs at stations, County-owned signage, and pavement markings along 12th Street S and Crystal Drive from Long Bridge Drive to 15th Street. The contract, managed by Arlington County Government within Virginia, has a project size estimated between five and fifteen million dollars. The solicitation was posted on August 30, 2024, with a response deadline of September 27, 2024. The primary point of contact is Sy Gezachew, reachable via email or phone. The project aims to enhance transit infrastructure and improve traffic flow in the area. Additionally, Arlington County has issued a separate solicitation for transportation planning and engineering services to support the broader scope of the transit projects, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to transportation improvements in the region.
