Lane Closure Switch on Oregon Avenue NW Beginning April 3, 2020

(Washington, DC)--The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin construction on Phase 1-1B of the Oregon Avenue Reconstruction Project on April 3, 2020, weather permitting. All construction activities will shift to the residential side of Oregon Avenue, between Beech Street and Western Avenue. Phase 1-1B will allow for the following:

  • Reconstruction of the residential side of Oregon Avenue
  • Construction of driveway aprons, transition and tie in
  • Installation of sidewalks
  • District of Columbia Power Line Undergrounding (DC PLUG) systems installation

The northbound lane of Oregon Avenue will be reopened during this phase to accommodate residential access. The current detour will be modified to assimilate southbound traffic while open and remain in place for all southbound traffic. Residents on Oregon Avenue will always have ingress and egress to their driveways via openings in the concrete barrier.

The Phase 1-1B road construction lane switch and closure will begin on April 3, 2020 continuing through June 2020. This lane closure is necessary to complete Phase 1-1B of the Oregon Avenue Reconstruction Project.

Traffic controls and signage will be in place to safely guide all motorist through the work zone. Motorists are urged to use caution as they travel in these areas, to anticipate moderate delays, and to be mindful of construction personnel.
