Overnight Lane Closure Maine Avenue SW and 14th Street SW
Thursday, November 6, 2025

(WASHINGTON, DC) — Beginning on or about Thursday, November 6, 2025, between 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will implement a road closure overnight on westbound Maine Avenue SW from 12th Street SW to the 14th Street Bridge as part of construction activities related to the Long Bridge Project. During this time, traffic will be detoured.

During the closure of Maine Avenue SW, westbound traffic will be detoured as shown below:

During the closure of Maine Avenue SW, southbound 12^th Street traffic will be detoured as shown below:

The road closure is necessary to complete roadway striping along Maine Avenue SW, 14th Street SW and D Street SW.

• Crews will refresh pavement striping and crosswalk markings to improve visibility and enhance pedestrian safety.
• Access to local properties, parking garages, and loading docks will be maintained.

Traffic controls, including signage and detour information, will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the area. DDOT urges all travelers to stay alert, follow posted signage, and use caution near the construction zone. This work is weather permitting.

The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority’s Long Bridge Project is a 1.8-mile rail improvement that will relieve one of the biggest rail bottlenecks on the East Coast. The project will improve reliability and expand capacity for both passenger and freight trains traveling between Virginia and Washington, D.C. The project will create a continuous four-track corridor between the Long Bridge Aquatic Center in Arlington and L’Enfant Plaza in D.C. It includes five new rail bridges and two new pedestrian and bicycle bridges. A new two-track rail bridge will be built over the Potomac River next to the existing Long Bridge, along with a new bike and pedestrian bridge connecting Long Bridge Park in Arlington to East and West Potomac Parks in D.C.

The Long Bridge Project is one of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority’s many rail projects across the Commonwealth. Learn more at: www.vapassengerrailauthority.org.

The District Department of Transportation’s mission is to equitably deliver a safe, sustainable and reliable multimodal transportation network for all residents and visitors of the District of Columbia.
