Update on reopening northbound GW Parkway: Maybe tomorrow, May 14
UPDATE: May 13, 11:35 a.m. — Due to continued rain, the National Park Service now hopes to reopen one lane in time for the evening rush hour on Tuesday, May 14. If this schedule changes, we will share an update.
The NPS in cooperation with our partners at Federal Highway Administration will inject grout to stabilize the soil. This grout acts like expanding foam filling gaps in the eroded soil. Once the ground is stabilized, one lane will reopen. Reopening one lane is weather dependent. Until repairs are completed, both northbound lanes will remain closed from VA 123, Chain Bridge Road to I-495, the Capital Beltway. Read below for background on efforts to repair the sinkhole on the parkway.
