Temporary Lane Closures for Construction of Concrete Median Along C Street NE

(Washington, D.C.) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin hardscape construction of the sidewalk, curb, and gutter located on the westbound side of C Street NE between 20^th Street and 21^st Street NE, starting on March 25, 2022, weather permitting, lasting approximately 4 weeks.

During this construction period motorists will be unable to park within the block, with parking being restored upon the completion of hardscape work (approximately 4 weeks). Pedestrian barriers will be in place to always allow access to the sidewalk throughout construction.

Please Note:

Construction for drainage and communication infrastructure is still ongoing.

Lane closures of C St NE westbound and eastbound remain in effect.

Lane closure hours remain between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM Monday to Friday, holidays excluded.

Parking is prohibited in the work zone, and safe accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists will be enforced.

Traffic controls and signage will be in place to safely guide all motorist through the work zone. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling through the work zone, to anticipate moderate delays, and to be mindful of pedestrians, cyclists, and construction personnel.

The completed project will improve overall safety for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists along the C Street NE corridor as well as improved overall pedestrian safety, installation of protected bicycle lanes, curb extensions and raised sidewalks, ADA compliant intersections, traffic calming measures, improved bus operation, improved traffic signal operation, upgraded street lighting and enhanced streetscape and green spaces.
