Landmark Mall Redevelopment To Prompt Temporary Closure On Duke Street In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Drivers will encounter a partial closure of Duke Street for three days near the Landmark Mall redevelopment in Alexandria.

Duke Street will be closed in the westbound direction between the Van Dorn Street off-ramp and South Walker Street for 72 hours starting 10 p.m. Tuesday. The lanes will reopen at 10 p.m. on Friday. The ramp from southbound Van Dorn Street to westbound Duke Street will also be closed.

The road closure is due to the demolition of the existing fly-over ramp to the former Landmark Mall as part of the redevelopment project. After the former mall was demolished, developers are preparing to replace it with a mixed-use development anchored by a relocated Inova Alexandria Hospital.

During the Duke Street westbound closure, traffic will be detoured onto Van Dorn Street, Stevenson Avenue and South Walker Street before returning to Duke Street beyond the work area. Southbound traffic on Van Dorn Street will also be impacted by the detour. Businesses along Duke Street will remain open during the road closure.

Work hours will be weather dependent.
