Temporary Full Closure of Northbound South Capitol Street SE on November 21, 2020
(Washington, DC) - The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will close all lanes on northbound South Capitol Street, SE at Potomac Ave., SE on the weekend of November 21-22, 2020, as shown in the following graphic. Northbound traffic crossing the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge (FDMB) will be channeled into the right lane prior to Potomac Avenue, SE. All traffic will turn right onto Potomac Avenue, SE, then follow First Street, SE and M Street, SE back to northbound South Capitol Street, SE.
The detour route will be posted with signs advising drivers of the route. All travelers are advised to stay alert and obey the posted speed limit throughout the work area and detour.
This closure is a result of the reconstruction of the I-295/ Suitland Parkway interchange associated with the South Capitol Street Corridor Project which includes construction of the New Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.
