McLean, VA — The entire northern section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway and Spout Run Parkway reopened today at 9:45 a.m., and will be fully operational, including the reversible lane, for the evening commute.

Drivers should use caution because the three-lane traffic configuration is still in effect for the north parkway rehabilitation project.

“We extend our sincere appreciation to the public for their patience and understanding during this closure period," Charles Cuvelier, George Washington Memorial Parkway superintendent, said. “The safety of our visitors and commuters remains our top priority. We are dedicated to ensuring their well-being and convenience throughout their journey on the George Washington Memorial Parkway.”
