DDOT has a dedicated website for the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) extension from Brookland (John McCormack Drive NE) to Fort Totten metro station. DDOT presented preliminary information at the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association meeting on May 7. Work will begin in June 2018 (weather permitting) and is scheduled for completion in December 2019. DDOT expects to begin work on the southern portion first, then will begin work on the northern portion (as early as June or July), and expects to complete the middle portion last. Construction trucks will mainly be using John McCormack Drive and Fort Totten Drive NE. There may be some impact to pedestrian walkways on Gallatin Street NE and on 1st Place NE once work begins closer to the metro station. The dedicated website has links for construction updates, a two-week look ahead schedule, and progress reports, so be sure to check the site come June for upcoming work.
