Southern Expansion: Pedestrian Safety Guidance

7/9/2026

As Arlington National Cemetery continues progress on its Southern Expansion Project, we remind pedestrians to please follow the established route, shown above, when walking near the construction site. 

•  If you are walking eastbound: Use South Orme Street or South Ode Street from Southgate Road, then turn east on Columbia Pike to reach your destination.

•  If you are walking westbound: Use Columbia Pike heading west, then turn north on South Orme Street or South Ode Street. From there, turn west on Southgate Road to reach your destination.

•  Pedestrians are encouraged to enter Arlington National Cemetery through the main entrance on Memorial Avenue or the Ord & Weitzel Gate on the northern end of the cemetery. 

⚠️ For your safety, we kindly remind all pedestrians not to enter or cross the construction site.

As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue the DAR/Southern Expansion Project, a complex and large-scale initiative that may require adjustments to construction plans as needed.
