Temporary Lane Closures on I-395 and Maine Avenue SW for Construction Activities from Feb. 18 to Feb. 20
(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close lanes and shoulders on the following roadways for pre-construction activities. Work is scheduled to take place during daytime off-peak hours as specified below. These closure dates and times are contingent on suitable weather, field conditions, and/or adjacent construction activities.
-
I-395 between the Virginia State Line and the Case Bridge – A single right lane closure will be in place for northbound traffic and southbound traffic on I-395 between the Virginia State Line and the Case Bridge on Wednesday, February 19, between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
-
Maine Avenue SW between Ohio Drive SW and I-395 – A single right lane closure will be in place for eastbound traffic on Maine Avenue SW between Ohio Drive SW and I-395 between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, February 18-20.
Traffic controls, including signage, will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zones. All roadway users are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and work zones while traveling in this area.
These closures are needed for construction activities associated with the Long Bridge Project. The project will add a new two-track railroad bridge next to the existing Long Bridge across the Potomac River, increasing rail capacity and alleviating a bottleneck for Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express. It will also create a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the river. The 1.8-mile project includes five new rail bridges and two new pedestrian/bicycle bridges.
