Phase 4 Work on Massachusetts Avenue Bridge to Begin; South Sidewalk Will Remain Closed

DDOT and the Contractor will begin Stage 4 work in the middle of the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge between 2nd and 3rd Streets, NW. The south sidewalk will remain closed to pedestrians. This phase involves installing pavement markings and protection shields in preparation of the removal of surface asphalt and demolition of the bridge joints.
Safety on Our Minds
As always, drivers and pedestrians are strongly encouraged to adhere to the work zone safety barriers and traffic signage. A construction work zone can be a dangerous place. The barriers are set up to protect the public and the construction workers.

DDOT and the Contractor encourage all motorists traveling through the work zone to stay alert.
