Temporary Road Closure of Howard Road SE under I-295 on June 27, 2020

(Washington, DC) - The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close I-295 Exit 4B to Howard Road SE and Howard Road, SE between the WMATA Parking garage and Firth Sterling Avenue, SE from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm on Saturday, June 27, 2020 for bridge reconstruction as shown in the below graphic. In the event of any unforeseen delays such as weather work will commence on Sunday June 28, 2020. A marked detour will be in place during the closure.

This closure is a result of the reconstruction of the I-295/ Suitland Parkway interchange, and necessary for construction activities associated with the South Capitol Street Corridor Project which includes construction of the New Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.

Pedestrians and cyclists are advised to stay alert and follow signage when traveling through this area.
