Traffic Advisory: Edgewood Street and 8th Street NE Traffic Safety Improvement & Protected Bikeway Project Work Began August 7, 2023
(Washington, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will convert Edgewood Street and 8th Street NE to a one-way northbound traffic flow between 7th Street NE and Lawrence Street NE and install a two-way cycle track on 8th Street NE between Franklin Street NE and Monroe Street NE. Work began on August 7, 2023, with an anticipated completion date of August 25, 2023.
Lane closures and temporary parking restrictions will be necessary to accomplish this task safely. This work will be conducted from 7:00 am- 3:30 pm.
This project will close a gap in the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT), improve safety on 8th Street NE for all road users, and improve traffic flow on Edgewood Street NE at drop-off and pick-up times for two nearby schools.
Traffic controls will be in place to safely guide all roadway users through the work zone. Motorists should expect delays due to the lane closures and are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and road work crews while traveling in this area.
