(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced it will be conducting off-peak single lane closures on the eastbound Southeast-Southwest Freeway ramp that connects to the outbound 11th Street bridge. The lane closures will be required to construct the roadway barrier leading to the new bridge ramp over N Street in Southeast Washington. The closures will take place starting tonight at 9 pm and continue through 1 pm Saturday afternoon.

Temporary signs and traffic control measures will be in place to alert and guide the traveling public.

In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen conditions, this work may be cancelled, extended as needed or rescheduled to occur starting at 9 pm on Saturday, August 20 through 1 pm the following afternoon.
This closure is in addition to the previously publicized off peak closures of the 11th Street bridges, related ramps, local streets, Southeast-Southwest Freeway and Interstate 295/DC 295.
