Daytime Closing of the H Street NE

Two-Day Daytime Closing of the H Street NE North Intersection
At 11th Street Scheduled Wednesday & Thursday, May 26-27
Similar Closing at the 12th Street Intersection
Planned For Thursday & Friday, June 3 & 4
The north side of the 11th Street intersection with H Street NE is scheduled to be closed to through traffic from 9:00 am to approximately 3:30 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, May 26 and 27, to facilitate construction of the streetcar tracks across the intersection on H Street.
For the same purpose, the north side of the 12th Street intersection with H Street NE will be closed to through traffic from 9:00 am to approximately 3:30 pm on Thursday and Friday, June 3 and 4.
Should rain prevent work on any of these days, the work will be done on the next work day.
In both cases, the District Department of Transportation encourages northbound and southbound motorists seeking to cross H Street to use 8th, 9th, 10th, or 13th Streets as alternatives. During the periods each intersection is closed, residents and visitors to addresses in the 800 blocks of 11th and 12th Street will be able to enter and exit that block from I Street to the north.
Before and during the intersection closures, signs directing traffic will be in place and flaggers will be on the site to assist motorists and pedestrians.
The intersection closures will not affect any Metrobus routes.
The work is part of DDOT’s H Street Reconstruction Project. More information about the project is available on the DDOT website, http://ddot.dc.gov/DC/DDOT/ under the Ward 6 portion of the “Projects and Planning” section.
