CSX plans for Virginia Avenue Tunnel replacement.
After the tunnel is complete and the trench refilled, the Virginia Avenue corridor will see some improvements, including new streetscaping and furniture. Additionally, a bikeway linking to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail will be constructed along the Virginia Avenue axis.
So it won't repurpose the temporary tunnel - actually just a trench - for a bikeway, but there will be a surface bikeway built. Considering they were only building a trench, I think a parallel bikeway is a pretty good addition for cyclists.
