Intermittent Lane Closures on Massachusetts Avenue NW from December 27, 2021 through January 21, 2022
(Washington, D.C.) -The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is advising all stakeholders to expect continued intermittent lane closures on northbound and southbound Massachusetts Avenue NW from 20th Street NW to Waterside Drive NW, continuing December 27, 2021 through January 21, 2022, weather permitting.
These intermittent 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.
Roadway users should expect short interruptions to two-way traffic. Travel lanes will be tapered as necessary to allow for the safe channelizing of traffic. Temporary sidewalk closures may be required during construction. Pedestrian channelizers, detours, and signage will be installed when these sidewalk closures are needed.
These intermittent lane closures and activities are necessary to complete work related to the Rehabilitation of Massachusetts Avenue NW project from 20th Street to Waterside Drive NW. The following construction activities will take place in the upcoming weeks from December 27 – January 21, weather permitting:
-
Massachusetts Avenue NW from 20th Street to Sheridan Circle – there will be an intermittent lane closure for waterline service transfer between 20th Street NW and Sheridan Circle
-
Florida Avenue NW from Massachusetts Avenue to R Street – the eastbound lane closure will continue to complete sewer restoration
-
Massachusetts Avenue NW from California Street to Belmont Road – intermittent lane closures will continue
-
Massachusetts Avenue NW from Belmont Road to S Street – southbound curb lane will be closed to complete sidewalk reconstruction
Please note that no construction activity will take place from 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 23 – Saturday, December 25 and then from 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 30 – Saturday, January 1 due to the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.
Parking restrictions will continue to be in place during off peak hours from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please adhere to no parking signage.
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 complete, the Rehabilitation of Massachusetts Avenue NW project, will include improvements such as sidewalks, streetlights, green infrastructure, and other streetscape elements.
