The reconstruction of Woodmont Avenue south of Bethesda Avenue took a major step forward Saturday, as the closed roadway bed received at least one level of pavement. I'm wondering if the reason the reopening is scheduled for August 15 (although newer electronic sign messages are slightly less confident, giving a qualifying "on or about"), is that there will be no sidewalks? It's the sidewalks and streetscaping that are among the features that would add significant time to the project. I have not heard what the plans are in that regard. Will the street be accessible to pedestrians when it opens, or just cars? Will there be bike lanes?

Yes, common sense would say they're not installing brick paver sidewalks yet. There's a freakin crane a foot away from the road still and the buildings aren't even ready to be skinned yet. Presumably, they will cordon off a pedestrian path on the roadway, per the language of whatever variance is commonly given in this type of situation.
