Mill/Overlay Work on Blair Road NW from Rittenhouse St NW to 2nd St NW Begins July 21
(WASHINGTON, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will implement a temporary roadway detour beginning July 21, which will change north/south bound traffic patterns on Blair Road NW starting at Rittenhouse St NW continuing through to 2nd St NW. This work will be permanent for the installation of the new Metropolitan Branch Trail.
This mill/overlay of asphalt work will continue for approximately 1 week starting Monday, July 21 through Saturday, July 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., weather permitting.
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 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 a new multi-use trail section, sidewalks, streetlights, green area revitalization, and other streetscape elements.
