Notice of Upcoming Detour on South Jefferson Street Near CRMH

Beginning mid-September, part of South Jefferson Street will be closed to traffic while we construct a pedestrian bridge connecting the Crystal Spring Tower to the facilities and parking garage across the street. We expect this work to take about three months.

The impacted area is one block of South Jefferson Street between McClanahan Street SW and the traffic light in front of CRMH. 

Traffic will be detoured to Rosalind Avenue SW and Carolina Avenue SW. We will keep the sidewalk on one side of South Jefferson Street open to pedestrians.

The expected timeline is:

• Sept. 20: Both lanes of Crystal Spring Avenue SW are reopened to traffic. Currently only one lane is open.
• Sept. 23: Closure of one block of South Jefferson Street SW begins.
• Dec. 13: South Jefferson Street SW is reopened to traffic.

The construction area and detours are shown in the map below.
