Temporarily Lane Closure on I-295 Southbound Beginning December 12, 2022

(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will close the right southbound lane of I-295 by Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge, between Eastern Avenue and Ord Street NE, beginning December 12, 2022, weather permitting.

The closure will be in place for approximately 2 weeks.

This closure is necessary to complete shaft drilling for Pier 1, that is adjacent to I-295, for the construction of the Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge project.

Once completed, the Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge project will remove and replace the existing bridge over Kenilworth Avenue, NE (DC-295) and adjacent service roads with a new bridge with increased vertical clearance and ADA compliant ramps, as well as improving the bridge’s structural integrity.

For more information about this project and to stay up to date on traffic related impacts and construction progress, please visit www.ddot.dc.gov.

The District Department of Transportation’s mission is to equitably deliver a safe, sustainable and reliable multimodal transportation network for all residents and visitors of the District of Columbia.
