(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will be closing traffic lanes on 11th Street, SE between M and I Streets in southeast Washington between 9:30 am and 3:30 pm starting January 3 through January 6. The closures will allow DDOT to install bridge girders over 11th Street for a new freeway bridge.

While these lane closures take place northbound and southbound access will be kept open along this stretch of 11th 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.
