Permanent Closure of I-295 Southbound Exit 4B to Howard Road SE on July 10, 2020
(Washington, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will permanently close I-295 southbound Exit 4B to Howard Road SE as shown in the below graphic. The removal of the existing Howard Road, SE exit and the creation of a new access point (Exit 4) will provide access to northbound/inbound South Capitol Street, SE, Howard Road, SE, Anacostia Metrorail Park and Ride Garage, Anacostia Metrorail Station, and Firth Sterling Avenue, SE. The new exit ramp route will open on or about July 10, 2020.
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.
Pedestrian and cyclist access to Anacostia Metrorail Station remains unchanged. However, pedestrians and cyclists are advised to stay alert and follow signage when traveling through this area as well as the surrounding construction areas.
