Work Continues on Bridge Over Southwest Freeway

There will be temporary lane closures through this week on Interstate 395 in the District. The city is working on the 9th Street SW Bridge over the freeway, near L'Enfant Plaza.

The District Department of Transportation says this requires closing a single lane on I-395 under the 9th Street Bridge from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekday. The lane closure will be on either the north or south side depending on the needs of the contractor. Additional lane closures will occur from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night on either side, DDOT says.

Expect congestion through that area. Watch for the variable message signs, with directions around the lane closures.

The bridge rehabilitation is a year long project that started last November.
