The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will implement temporary double-lane closures, as needed, on the north and/or southbound DC-295. The work will consist of placing concrete for the new bridge deck over DC-295 with 2 lanes in both North and South bound directions closed at the same time during the night. Work will take place adjacent to Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge (between Quarles and Nash), beginning March 22, 2024, from 9:00pm to 5:00am, weather permitting. Please avoid traveling on DC-295 during this time. Closures will be in effect beginning at Route 50 (John Hanson Highway) southbound, and traveling northbound at Benning Road NE.

The closure will be in place for approximately 2 nights, weather permitting. Alternate start night is March 23rd . These closures are necessary to advance work on the Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge which will include concrete placement of the new pedestrian bridge, amongst other construction activities. Once completed, the Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge project will remove and replace the existing bridge over Kenilworth Avenue, NE (DC-295) and adjacent service roads with a new bridge with increased vertical clearance and ADA compliant ramps, as well as improving the bridge’s structural integrity.

For more information about this project and to stay up to date on traffic-related impacts and construction progress, please visit www.ddot.dc.gov.
