Beginning Friday night, State Highway Administration contractors will start a milling and repaving project that could mean noise and traffic delays on Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase.
Starting at 8 p.m. Friday, crews will work all day and night until 5 a.m. on Monday, then resume grinding away existing asphalt at 8 p.m. each night Monday through Thursday.
The all day and night weekend work will then resume on Friday, Aug. 22 until 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 25.
Weather permitting, the contractors will work along northbound Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase between this Friday and Thursday, Aug. 21 and along southbound Connecticut Avenue between Friday, Aug. 22 and Thursday, Aug. 28.
Residents should expect noise levels to be higher than is normal during the work hours. Local traffic delays are also expected during this period since there will be rolling lane closures during the work hours. Traffic entering or existing from Village roadways will not be affected, except when the milling operations cross each intersection.
Once all milling operations are complete, SHA contractors will begin to repave the roadway after the Labor Day holiday, though exact dates aren’t yet known.
