OK fellow lumberjacks: What do we do now?

Isn't that the cone and barrel on the right side of the picture?

Detour is going to continue to be in place for another three months.

Looks like one lane of motor vehicle traffic each way. Exposure to turning traffic, but limited. I can live with that to a point. Big question-when will they finish work underneath the bridge so that the trail route can reopen?

My understanding is that the trail detour will be in place until the end of the project in 3 months. With the bridge opened to vehicles, trail users have a pretty long wait to get the signal.

Disappointing that the project was scheduled in such a way that 4MR trail users will have to navigate a high-volume street crossing for THREE MONTHS.

Yeah, I didn't expect that. I don't think we were told, even early on. The trail underneath will be blocked until they finish up and remove the temporary ped bridge. Rode by there today and will confirm everyone's observations. Not ideal.

Also on the journey, at the end of S. Eads, at the "driveway", a solitary traffic barrel stands sentry. A second barrel is tucked against the fence, awaiting deployment. I could do nothing with it because a guy was sitting in a parked car there. This is a job for another covert lumberjack...

At the new Glebe Road Bridge, note also that westbound they got the ADA ramp a bit wrong and you could easily flat if you weren't careful. It's not as bad as the East Basin Drive ramp in DC.

I just got an email from the ArCo project manager who said "We are aware of the issue and it will be an item for the punchlist."

It seems that some reverse-lumberjacking has occurred

Thanks for e-mailing them. It was on my to do. The FoMVT storage unit is in Shirlington and we are hauling loaded down trailers over this curb and it would totally suck to have to unload and reload a trailer for a pinch flat on the way to an event.

Just got an email from Dominion that said "Thanks for reaching out. We are working on fixing this issue as soon as possible."

Their rep has been pretty responsive to me so I'm remaining positive.
