Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of this construction project? This is an improvement project to replace and increase the capacity of the existing sanitary sewer line in areas on Calamo Street and Spring Road. There is a second phase of the project that is outside the roadway and in the neighboring woods.

What is the estimated timeframe for completion of this construction project? This project will continue through the fall of 2025.

What are the expected construction hours? Construction hours will vary depending on weather, holiday schedules, lane closure hour restrictions, and construction phasing. It should be expected that construction activity will generally occur between 7 am and 5 pm on Monday-Friday. No night work is planned at this time.

What is a continuous detour and how will it help with this project? Beginning on June 2nd, the detour will be in place continuously for 24 hours a day/7 days a week and will remain in place until September 2025. The continuous closure will allow us to expedite the project completion.

How will the continuous detour affect traffic? All access from Ridgeway Drive will be closed to all traffic. Only resident traffic is allowed and all residents will use the Spring Road entrance. Calamo Street is closed to thru traffic. As the construction progresses the detour may be modified, and residents will be notified in advance of any changes.

Is the continuous detour route different than the temporary detour route? The continuous detour is set up similarly to the temporary closures that were previously used on this project.

How will access to my property be maintained during the continuous detour? Residents and emergency services will always have access to their property. We will continue coordinating with property owners to ensure safe and continuous access to their property. Emergency vehicle access has been planned for and we are working with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, the local Fire Department, and Local/State Police to make sure they can reach your property in the event of an emergency.

Will there be any restrictions on street parking due to construction? Currently there is no street parking and there will not be any street parking allowed in or around the construction area.
