The closure was but was pushed back. If you were hoping for another delay, no such luck. The closure is officially scheduled for this evening, according to Ken Hartman, director of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center.
The closure is sure to affect traffic on busy Bethesda Row, but the real test will come Monday during morning rush hour. Since much of Woodmont carries traffic from north to south, morning rush commuters may be impacted the most, Hartman told Patch last month.

There's good news for pedestrians and cyclists, however -- the Capital Crescent Trail will remain open during construction.
