Temporary Traffic Lane Restrictions on South Side of 12th Street Intersection With H Street, NE

(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation plans to implement temporary traffic lane restrictions on the south side of the 12th Street intersection with H Street NE, on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, weather permitting, to accommodate construction work within this intersection.

For approximately four weeks, the 700 block of 12th Street—from H Street south to G Street, NE—will be restricted to south-bound traffic only. The standard two traffic lanes will be reduced to one lane so that the construction contractor can install streetcar tracks and complete related work at the corners and across the intersection.

Northbound motorists are advised to use 11th Street or 13th Street as an alternative travel route to avoid delays.

The work being done is part of DDOT’s H Street Reconstruction Project. For more information about the project is available on the DDOT website, at dashboard.ddot.dc.gov under the Ward 6 Projects Link, or by contacting the project field office at (202) 544.7603.
