Traffic Impacts on Blair Road NW Beginning Saturday, June 21
(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will complete milling/overlay asphalt work beginning Saturday, June 21. During this work, DDOT will implement a temporary roadway detour which will change north/south bound traffic patterns on Blair Road NW starting at McDonald Place NE continuing thru to Aspen St NW. The work will start at McDonald Place NE and continue to Aspen St NW. Please note that this work will be permanent for the installation of the new Metropolitan Branch Trail extension.
The milling/overlay asphalt work will continue for approximately four weeks.
These lane closures and traffic pattern changes are necessary to complete final paving of the roadways 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 this work a single north/south bound 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.
