On August 21, 2023, Montgomery Parks will begin renovating the lighting in the Capital Crescent Trail, Dalecarlia Tunnel, with six ceiling-mounted lights to make the tunnel brighter, safer, and more reliable for commuters, recreational cyclists, and pedestrians.
This work will require narrowing the tunnel down to one lane during the construction day so users should expect slowdowns and stoppages during the work period. Equipment will be removed from the tunnel at the end of the day. Signage will be posted during project workdays. Park Police will be present to assist commuters at both ends of the tunnel during work times.
WHAT: Lighting project on the Capital Crescent Trail
WHEN: Monday, August 21‒Friday, August 25, 7:30 a.m.‒ 2 p.m.

WHY: Renovating lighting and wiring to make the tunnel brighter, safer, and more reliable. Users should expect slowdowns and stoppages between 7:30 a.m.‒ 2 p.m.
