Project Significance

The Federal Highway Administration is an important client for Fort Myer Construction and we are proud of the service we are able to provide in the metropolitan DC area. This project was within a highly visible part of GWMP and affected those traveling to and from National Airport. Careful traffic control is imperative since lane closures and night work were required. Detours are strategically provided and well-marked when ramps are closed for milling and paving.
