Planned Detours on Blair Road NW from Van Buren St. NW to Aspen St NW Begins March 31
(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will implement temporary roadway and sidewalk detours which will change northbound traffic patterns on Blair Road NW from Van Buren St NW to Aspen St NW beginning March 31, 2025 and is expected to last until May 5, 2025. The work will start with the northbound curb and gutter realignment on Blair Road NW across from Van Buren St NW and then move north to Aspen St NW. The southbound travel lane will be a single lane of travel and will not be impacted at this location. Please note the curb and gutter relocations will be permanent for the installation of the new Metropolitan Branch Trail.
These lane closures and traffic pattern changes are necessary to complete utility upgrades, curb/gutter realignments for installation of the multi-use trail in the most efficient manner as a part of the Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Project. For the least amount of public inconvenience, this work will be performed as quickly as possible. During the course of this work a single southbound lane of travel will be maintained at a minimum.
Traffic controls, including signage and temporary traffic control barrels/cones will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely around the work zone. All users of the roadway are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and work zones while traveling in this area.
Once complete, the Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Project, will include improvements such as new multi-use trail section, sidewalks, streetlights, green area revitalization, and other streetscape elements.
