Dominion Energy's Electric Transmission Operations & Maintenance team identified the need to repaint transmission structures adjacent to the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail in Fairfax County, the city of Falls Church, and Arlington County. Crews are stripping peeling painting and repaint approximately 40 structures between Mile Markers 5.5 and 8.5.

The W&OD Trail remains open during this maintenance. For trail users' safety, temporary tent scaffolding, a secure work perimeter, and signage are in place. Community members may hear equipment noise, see personnel climbing structures, and experience intermittent lane closures on the trail and adjacent roads. After maintenance is complete, the structures will continue to meet reliability standards. The structures are being restored to a dull gray color that matches the previous finish.

Benefits

  • Maintains current structures and right of way.
  • Improves structure aesthetics.
