9 Transportation Projects In The D.C. Region Set To Open In 2023
Every year, we take a look ahead at major transportation construction projects in the region scheduled to be completed sometime during the coming year.
Transportation construction boomed in 2022 with several generational projects completed: the Silver Line extension, Express Toll lanes on I-66, and D.C.’s first major bus lane project. In somewhat of a rare instance for big transportation projects, the new, expanded Harry Nice Bridge opened months earlier than planned. So the new bridge between Charles County, Maryland, and King George County, Virginia, missed our 2022 and 2023 lists! The East Potomac Park road redesign/new bike lanes took only a month to complete in December and also aren’t on either list.
Still, 2023 has quite the laundry list of new Metro stations, highway express lane expansions, and new bike lane projects.
We know construction schedules are notoriously finicky and projects are often delayed for a number of reasons. We tried to verify this list against project websites and reach out for confirmation, but schedules do change often. You can also find our lists from 2020, 2021, and 2022. ............(more)
