(WASHINGTON, DC) – The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is scheduled to close the northbound and southbound lanes of 11th Street, SE between M Street and K Street, as well as half a block of L Street, SE, on December 28 and 29. The lane closures will allow the Contractor to install bridge girders over 11th Street for a new freeway bridge.

The lane closures will occur between 5:00 am and 4:00 pm. During the lane closures, signed detours will be posted.

Motorists traveling northbound on 11th Street, SE from M Street, SE will be detoured to northbound 8th Street, SE and then to eastbound G Street, SE to access 11th Street north of K Street, SE.

Motorists traveling southbound on 11th Street, SE will be detoured to westbound I Street, SE to southbound 8th Street, SE and then to eastbound M Street, SE to access 11th Street south of M Street, SE.

In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen conditions, this work will be rescheduled and an updated advisory will be distributed.

This closure is in addition to the previously publicized off-peak closures of the 11th Street bridges, related ramps, local streets, and I-295/DC 295.
