You may have noticed the missing stones on the wall that separates the 8th tee from Military Road. This wall was constructed back when Arlington County widened the road in the 60-70's. During the latest freeze thaw cycles the wall lost several large stones from this wall thus destabilizing this section, requiring us to use cones and tape to close the sidewalk.
Sometime in the past Dominion Power installed a support pole and wires for the power transmission poles across the street. This support pole was tied to a post buried in the wall. Over time, weather and loads have now caused the wall to fail where this support is located. We are in contact with both the county, who does not like closed sidewalks, and Dominion Power. We hope to have some resolution within the next few weeks on how this repair work gets completed.
