Overnight Double Lane Closure on I-395 Northbound Between 12th Street Expressway and 7th Street SW on November 13, 2020
(Washington, DC) - The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close two right lanes and the shoulder on I-395 Northbound between the 12th Street Expressway and 7th Street SW to perform construction activities for sign structure replacements. This closure is scheduled to be performed on or about Friday, November 13, 2020 from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, weather permitting.
As a result of this closure, the I-395 Northbound exit/entrance ramp to/from East Potomac Park (i.e., Exit 2) will be temporarily closed. Detour signage will be in place to direct traffic from East Potomac Park to I-395 Northbound via Maine Avenue SW.
Interstate 395 Sign Structure Improvement Project
The Interstate 395 (I-395) Sign Structure project focuses on the replacement and repair of existing sign structures along the I-395 corridor. This includes the corridor-wide furnishing and installation of overhead traffic guide signs (sign mounting structures and panels), electrical systems, and lighting fixtures. There will also be the removal of existing overhead signs, sign structures, and electrical systems. The project will provide corridor wide improvements to the guide signing and lighting between the 12th Street Expressway and D Street, SW.
Motorists are urged to use caution as they travel in these areas, to anticipate moderate delays, and to be mindful of construction personnel.
