This closure will also continue on Saturday, November 21, from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm.

This closure is necessary for bridge reconstruction, as shown in the below graphic. A marked detour will be in place during the closure.
This closure is a result of the reconstruction of the I-295/ Howard Road, SE interchange, and necessary for construction activities associated with the South Capitol Street Corridor Project which includes construction of the New Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.
