Following the completion of priority valve repairs, DC Water will be doing road restoration work along New York Ave and Bladensburg Rd NE this weekend. The work will require lane closures for the duration of the weekend, reduce capacity, and may cause a significant impact to traffic.

DC Water is taking advantage of warmer temperatures this weekend to get the paving completed now, rather than implementing a temporary patch. The weekend-long lane closures are necessary to provide the 24 hours necessary for the concrete to set. The road restoration is the last step as part of an urgent project to replace three large water main valves in this area.

We recognize that lane closures are disruptive, and we appreciate your patience.
