There’s some good news Thursday afternoon for commuters regarding the emergency paving going on along Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase.
State Highway Administration contractors have finished paving all three northbound lanes of the road from East-West Highway to Bradley Lane and all three lanes are open for the time being.
The crews have moved their paving work over to the southbound lanes, where just one lane was open as of 3 p.m. Thursday.
In case you missed it, the SHA announced Wednesday that worse than expected road conditions meant a weeks-long paving operation had to be condensed into just this week. The change and all-day work that accompanied it meant rare lane closures during rush hour periods.
The work is expected to continue through Saturday night, weather permitting, so stay tuned for other closures.
