HILLANDALE ROAD NOW ENTIRELY CLOSED NEAR LITTLE FALLS PARKWAY IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

The portion of Hillandale Road between Little Falls Parkway and Willett Parkway is now closed indefinitely in both directions. A recent partial collapse of a culvert pipe below the road had caused the inbound lane to close. Now that section of the road is entirely closed, and drivers are being asked to use Arlington Road to detour around it. A statement from Montgomery County Government says that the road section will remain closed "for an undetermined amount of time." 

STREET WORK TO AFFECT PEDESTRIANS, DRIVERS ON NORFOLK AVE. IN BETHESDA STARTING WEDNESDAY

Clark Construction has notified property owners near its 7770 Norfolk Avenue construction site that street work will affect travel by pedestrians and automobiles over the next 7 weeks. Starting Wednesday, September 3, there will be closures and detours on Norfolk, as contractors make deep utility and pipe connections for the 7770 Norfolk apartment tower project below the street. A second, smaller site by the property's Fairmont Avenue side will also be impacted.

The work on Norfolk Avenue will be between Fairmont and Woodmont Avenues. Given that the sidewalk has already been closed on the 7770 side of Norfolk there, one must assume that pedestrians will be affected on the Veterans Park side of the street. A memo on the project says the utility work on Fairmont will be a utility connection between the center of the street (underground) to the 7770 site (see image above; click to enlarge for detail).

7770 Norfolk is being developed by the JBG Companies.
