Temporary Road Closure on Piney Branch Road NW, September 27 – October 27, 2023
(WASHINGTON, DC) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is advising of a temporary road closure on Piney Branch Road NW, between Venable Place NW and Whittier Street NW, for manhole enclosure and precast base installation.
The temporary road closure will begin on September 27 and continue through October 27, 2023, between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., weather permitting. Residents will still have access to their apartments, and parking will be prohibited as marked by “Emergency No Parking” signs.
The road closure is necessary to complete the DC Power Line Undergrounding (DC PLUG) initiative’s Feeder 15009 project manhole enclosure and precast base installation. The DC PLUG initiative is a partnership between the DDOT and Pepco to improve the resiliency and reliability of the District of Columbia electric system by placing select systems underground. Feeders are primary distribution power lines that provide services to approximately 1,100 residents within a specific neighborhood.
For more information about the DC PLUG Initiative and to stay up to date on traffic-related impacts and construction progress, please visit www.DCPLUGinfo.com, call the DC PLUG team at 1-844-758-4146, or email DC PLUG at questions@DCPLUGinfo.com.
