Project Overview:

For more than a century, Arlington National Cemetery, has represented each generation’s service, sacrifice, and valor. Here laid to eternal rest are more than 400,000 men and women, united in protecting this democracy during times of war and times of peace. Within these sacred grounds, their spirits live on, echoing sentiments of pride and love for country.

The Arlington National Cemetery Southern Expansion, Phase III Project will support the Army’s time-honored tradition of laying to rest our veterans well into the future. This will be accomplished by seamlessly expanding Arlington National Cemetery and creating a culturally rich and thoughtfully designed corridor encompassing the surrounding memorials. This vision will extend the lifespan of the cemetery and enhance the visitor experience while providing substantial benefits to the surrounding areas.

The Phase III Cemetery Expansion will increase the inground and above ground interment areas adding approximately 80,000 new burial opportunities, modifying the existing cemetery roadway network and provide a new pedestrian access point off Columbia Pike, and significant landscaping   The cemetery expansion will include 4 columbaria courts and a committal shelter.  Additive bid options will be included in the development of the Phase III Cemetery Expansion. In addition, LEED certification is not required for the Phase III Cemetery Expansion project.

Questions regarding the ANCSE Phase III Project may be submitted in advance of Industry Day to cherie.a.kunze@usace.army.mil with SUBJECT LINE: ANCSE Phase III Questions, BEFORE 1 May 2024 at noon.
