Site work and paving for a road / highway in Alexandria, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The purpose of this project is to design and implement safety improvements at the intersections of Duke Street & South Patrick Street and Duke Street & South Henry Street, together referred to as "Duke Street & Route 1". These intersections serve both local and regional travel through the Old Town historic district. They have also been identified among the City's high-crash intersections and are part of the City's high-injury street network, based on a citywide crash analysis completed in 2022. In addition to the history of crashes at these two intersections, there were also several site attributes that generate a high risk of severe crashes. In 2017, the City of Alexandria adopted a Vision Zero Action Plan and a City Council Resolution to eliminate fatal and severe crashes by 2028. Since the adoption of the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City has worked to improve safety citywide by focusing improvements in high-crash areas in addition to making systemic safety improvements where crash risk is high. This project supports the City's adopted goal of ending traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2028. As of September 30, 2024, this project is included in the city's 2025-2034 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
