Detours on 3rd St NW from Whittier St NW to Blair Rd NW to Begin March 31
(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will implement temporary roadway and sidewalk detours which will change northbound traffic patterns on 3rd St NW from Whittier St NW to Blair Rd NW. The work will start with the curb and gutter realignment on Whittier St NW and then move north to the intersection of 3rd St NW and Blair Rd NW. The southbound travel lane on 3rd St NW will be a single lane of travel and will not be impacted at this location. Please note that 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 placed 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.
