Temporary Parking Restrictions along H Street NW, December 18 - 30, 2023
(WASHINGTON, DC) —To support the efficient and reliable service of Metro’s free shuttles during the upcoming Red Line service closure between Judiciary Square and Dupont Circle, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily restrict parking along H Street NW and some parallel streets to allow space for Metro’s shuttles to efficiently service the Judiciary Square, Gallery Place-Chinatown, Metro Center, Farragut North, and Dupont Circle Metro Stations.
Parking will be restricted from 7:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, on the following roadways:
-
H Street NW, between 4th Street NW and 12th Street NW (all parking spaces), to allow efficient shuttle bus service along H Street NW to use the existing peak-period bus lanes all day, allowing passengers to quickly reach restaurants, shopping, and jobs downtown during the Red Line service closure.
-
8th Street NW, north of H Street NW, on the east side of the street (approximately 4 parking spaces) to temporarily relocate a commercial loading area from H Street NW.
-
10th Street NW, north of H Street NW, on the east side of the street (approximately 3 parking spaces) to temporarily relocate a valet staging area from H Street NW.
-
12th Street NW, north of H Street NW, on the east side of the street (approximately 1 parking space) to temporarily relocate a valet staging area from H Street NW.
- Additionally, an existing commercial loading zone on H Street NW will be relocated to 5th Street NW in an existing Metrobus Zone that will not be used during this time.
Emergency No Parking (ENP) signs will be posted along the length of the corridor at least 72 hours in advance of the closure. Motorists should be advised to pay extra attention to the ENP signage to avoid ticketing and towing.
Additionally, Metro’s Green and Yellow lines will operate normally and continue to serve the Gallery Place-Chinatown Station; Metro’s Blue, Orange, and Silver lines will operate normally and continue to serve the Metro Center Station. All Metrobus services are expected to be operating through downtown during this time, in addition to the Red Line shuttle buses.
