Temporary Road Closure on the 4700 Block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SW for DC PLUG Feeder 14758 from January 22 to February 3, 2024
(WASHINGTON, DC) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is alerting the public about a temporary road closure in the 4700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SW between Irvington Street SW and Joliet Street will occur for the installation of manholes on January 22 - February 3, 2024, weather permitting.
The temporary road closure will start from January 22 -February 3, 2024, between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., weather permitting. Residents will still have access to their apartments or homes, 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 14758 project manhole installations. 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.
