Holmes Run/Chambliss Crossing Study Complete 

The City of Alexandria has completed its study of Holmes Run near Dora Kelly Nature Park and, based on input from technical experts and the community, is proceeding with permitting and preparation of construction documents for the stream restoration and a crossing.

Map of study area. 

The engineering and design analysis explored alternatives for a crossing and stream bank restoration for the banks between North Chambliss Street and the city limits.

Project Schedule
The project is now in the permitting phase. You can stay informed and receive updates by signing up for eNews - Transportation Alternatives. Additional community outreach will take place in 2010.
