Temporary Road Closure & Traffic Detour from the 6700-6900 Blocks of Piney Branch Road for DC PLUG Feeder 15009 begins February 19 to March 15, 2024
(WASHINGTON, DC) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is coordinating upcoming road closures and traffic detours to install conduits on Piney Branch Road from February 19 – March 15, 2024, weather permitting. All residents will keep access to their homes. Please adhere to all Emergency No Parking signs.
Starting from February 19, conduits will be installed in the blocks of Piney Branch Road, NW, between Butternut Street and Whittier Street. The installation will take place on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm in the 6700-6900 blocks and will continue until March 15, 2024.
In order to facilitate the conduit installation, there will be detours set up in the affected areas. The following is a list of the locations where detours will be in effect:
- Piney Branch Rd – Whittier to Aspen (Southbound) – Traffic detoured through Georgia Avenue, NW
- Piney Branch Rd – Whittier to Aspen (Northbound) – Traffic detoured through Georgia Avenue, NW
- Piney Branch Rd – Butternut to Aspen (Southbound) – Traffic detoured through 8th Street, NW
Please plan your routes accordingly and allow for extra travel time during the installation period. The road closure is estimated to last four weeks to complete the installation of conduits (weather permitting). The installation of conduits is necessary to complete the DC PLUG initiative’s Feeder 15009 project, which consists of undergrounding powerlines for a more resilient DC.
