Human remains found along Spout Run Parkway in Arlington, inbound lanes closed

Human remains were found in a wooded area between Spout Run Parkway and Interstate 66 in Arlington on Wednesday morning, according to FOX 5 DC.

The discovery prompted authorities to close the inbound lanes of Spout Run Parkway to traffic, with all inbound drivers being diverted onto Lorcom Lane while investigators process the scene.

Arlington County Police alerted the United States Park Police around 9 a.m. after the remains were located, initiating a multi-agency investigation.

Officials have not released details about the identity, age, or gender of the deceased, nor have they determined a cause of death or how long the remains had been in the area.

The timeline for reopening the inbound lanes of Spout Run Parkway remains unclear as the investigation continues.
