Pavement Repair at East Market and Plaza Intersection Will
Impact Midday Traffic on Tuesday, January 17, 2017
Lane closures will be in effect from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m.
Leesburg, VA (January 16, 2017 | 9:15 p.m.) – The pavement patch over the gas line repair site
at the intersection of East Market and Plaza Streets has settled enough to require additional
patching. Overnight, Town of Leesburg crews will install a temporary patch. Flaggers will be in
place for traffic control.
Beginning at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, the intersection will be partially closed for more
extensive pavement work by Washington Gas’ contractor. During this pavement work, the
traffic pattern changes at the intersection are:
Traffic eastbound on Market Street has no access to northbound Plaza Street.
Traffic westbound on Market is reduced to one lane and has no access to Plaza Street in
either direction.
Traffic on Plaza Street cannot travel through the intersection in either direction.
Traffic southbound on Plaza Street is able only to turn westbound onto Market Street.
Traffic northbound on Plaza Street is able only to turn eastbound onto Market Street.
Repair work should be completed by 4:00 p.m. Until all lanes are reopened, drivers are advised
to use alternate routes.
