Construction Activity Notification - DC Clean Rivers - Potomac River Tunnel Project
DC Water is beginning critical ground stabilization work this week for the Potomac River Tunnel Project. The work will support the construction of a new underground diversion facility near the Capital Crescent Trail and is part of a larger effort to reduce sewer overflows into the Potomac River.
The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) has once again earned top credit ratings from all three major agencies—S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings—reinforcing our reputation as a national leader in the utility sector.
When your block comes up for DC Water’s free lead service line replacement or you want to hire a contractor yourself, it’s important to know what to expect. We’ve got you covered at our next Lead Free DC Virtual Meeting, Wednesday, July 9 from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m.
DC CLEAN RIVERS – POTOMAC RIVER TUNNEL PROJECT
Attention drivers. If you use the ramp from Ohio Drive Southwest to I-66, DC Water will be doing construction that requires the temporary closure of one northbound lane beginning as of today, weather permitting. Drivers will still be able to get onto the highway, and the lane will reopen before the evening rush.
Lane Closure Expected to Impact Commuters from DC, Maryland, and Virginia
DC Water will begin slope stabilization work along Canal Road Northwest starting around mid-August and is needed before construction at the site for part of the Potomac River Tunnel. This work will require the closure of one lane and the sidewalk on Canal Rd between Foxhall Rd and the entrance to Georgetown University.
Ramp Remains Closed Pending Further Assessment
DC Water has completed testing of the Rock Creek Main Interceptor—a major sewer line near the P Street NW ramp to Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway—after a sinkhole appeared on Friday. The results showed no significant leaks or structural issues in the sewer line.
