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 redesign and construction of the Beauregard Street and Seminary Road intersection was recommended as a project in the 2012 adopted Beauregard Small Area Plan. The intersection was planned to be reconfigured in the form of an at-grade intersection, referred to as an "ellipse" due to its geometric layout. The primary benefit of the elliptical configuration is the reduction of potential vehicle conflict points due to the elimination of the left turn movements along Seminary Road by eliminating left turns from both directions and redirecting those movements as right turns. Due to reduced expectancy in development and updated travel patterns and data, the City began an updated traffic study and reevaluation of the ellipse concept in FY 2022. This traffic analysis phase updated the traffic model to determine if the ellipse design was still the most appropriate for this location or if other design concepts better meet current city policies and design goals. In 2023, multiple new concepts were considered for this intersection, and one was brought forth to replace the "Ellipse" as the preferred concept. The updated design enables the intersection improvements to be constructed in a more phased approach and includes new safety enhancements. Once approved, the concept will include a cost estimate of the preferred alternative which will assist in determining a plan to obtain additional funding to finalize design and construct the project. Community outreach began in FY 2023 and aligned with the Alex West Small Area Plan engagement. 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.
