(Washington, D.C.) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT is scheduled to begin roadway work at Dupont Circle starting on or about Monday, March 28, 2022, weather permitting.

Initial work will include manhole repairs and resetting and the replacement of two existing concrete crosswalks and will require minimal traffic control or closures.

Some adjacent curbside parking may be restricted. If so, parking signs will be posted at least 72 hours in advance at locations where parking will be restricted. The emergency “NO PARKING” signs will provide details of the hours of construction operations, dates, duration of the work, and information on the engineer in charge.

Traffic control devices will be in place to warn pedestrians, cyclists and drivers approaching the work zone(s).

Drivers are advised to stay alert while traveling near the work locations, be prepared for possible detours and to be observant of the work zone. Cyclists should be prepared to adjust their route accordingly. Metro bus will continue their routes. Flaggers will be available to manage traffic and variable message signs will be utilized, as necessary.
