Lane closures will occur one lane at a time during the off-peak hours of 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday beginning on Thursday, March 18, 2021 and will continue through Wednesday, March 26, 2021, weather permitting.

 

There will also be a lane closure on eastbound Florida Avenue NW from Massachusetts Avenue NW to R Street NW beginning on Monday, March 22, 2021  through Friday, March 26, 2021, weather permitting.

 

These intermittent lane closures are necessary to complete test pitting related to the Rehabilitation of Massachusetts Avenue NW (from 20th Street to Waterside Drive) project.  

Traffic controls, including signage, will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zone. All users of the roadway are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and work zones while traveling in this area.

Once completed, the Rehabilitation of Massachusetts Avenue NW project will include improvements such as sidewalks, streetlights, green infrastructure, and other streetscape elements.
