(Washington, D.C.) - The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily detour traffic on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 for traffic signal emergency repairs along southbound South Capitol Street SE and eastbound Suitland Parkway. The signal on southbound South Capitol Street at the intersection with eastbound Suitland Parkway sustained damage from last night’s storm, resulting in the traffic signal being non-operational. Traffic wishing to access eastbound Suitland Parkway is being detoured via southbound South Capitol Street and northbound Firth Sterling Avenue SE. Repairs are expected to be complete by Wednesday night.  

 

All traffic controls will be in place to warn drivers approaching the areas. Motorists should anticipate moderate delays due to this damage. Drivers are advised to stay alert while traveling through these locations and to be observant of the inspection and construction personnel.
