Traffic Route Changes for Access to ANC via the Service Complex Gate

4/17/2026

On or around Monday, April 27, all drivers entering Arlington National Cemetery through the Service Complex "123" Gate — to include ANC personnel, authorized contractors and family pass holders — will encounter traffic route changes due to necessary Southern Expansion construction.

Direct access to the Service Complex Gate via Columbia Pike will be closed. Drivers will be rerouted to a new shared access road connecting to South Joyce Street. These route changes will be in effect until approximately early 2028. 


Details 

•   Columbia Pike will no longer be directly accessible from the Service Complex Gate. 
•   The new road extends from the Service Complex Gate to the intersection of South Joyce Street and Columbia Pike.
•   ANC personnel, authorized contractors and family pass holders will share this road with construction traffic. Please remain alert. 
•   The intersection at South Joyce Street will become an all-way stop. Outgoing traffic from the Service Complex Gate must stop at the stop sign. 
•    All current gate access points will remain unchanged.

Please refer to the maps below. 


As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding. The DAR/Southern Expansion Project is complex and large-scale. Site conditions may require construction plans to change.
