Temporary Lane Closures Continue on Blair Road, Cedar Street and 4th Street NW Through March 7

(Washington, DC) – The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will continue intermittent lane closures and weekend construction work on the Blair Road/Cedar Street/4th Street NW Intersection Improvement through Saturday, March 7, 2020, weather permitting.

DDOT will intermittently close travel lanes on westbound and eastbound Cedar Street, northbound and southbound Blair Road and 4th Street, and westbound and eastbound Butternut Street. Lane closures will take place between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM on weekdays and between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Both lanes on Blair Road, Cedar Street, Butternut Street and 4th Street will also be closed intermittently during this same period for the installation of streetlight foundations, catch basins, curb extension, and bioretention facilities. Roadway users should expect short interruptions to two-way traffic.

Travel lanes will be tapered as necessary to allow for safe channelizing of traffic. No lane closures other than short curtailments are anticipated. Crosswalks will be closed, and pedestrians will be directed to crosswalks on the other side of the affected roadway. Temporary sidewalk closures and narrowing of sidewalks will be required on Cedar Street, Blair Road, Butternut Street and 4th Street during this period for the construction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters.

Directional signs will be erected to direct travelers safely through the work zone. All users of the roadway are advised to stay alert while traveling through the corridor and to be observant of the work zones.

Once complete, the Blair Road/Cedar Street/4th Street Intersection Improvement Project will increase safety for all users of the roadway travelling through the corridor. For more information about the Blair Road / Cedar Street / 4th Street Intersection Improvement Project and to stay up-to-date on traffic-related impacts and construction progress, please visit 4th/ Blair/ Cedar NW Intersection Improvements.
