The subject of so many community meetings over the past few years, Pepco’s Capital Grid project has finally made its way to Riggs Road NE. Road work to place transmission cables underground along Riggs Road has commenced. Drivers will encounter lane closures in the work zone. You can view an interactive map of the project at https://capitalgrid.net.

Please pack some patience and pay attention to the flaggers. I have seen drivers become impatient and proceed driving contrary to instructions to stop. Needless to say, that is dangerous. Your best bet is to avoid Riggs Road NE if you can.

Other Construction Work

Site construction has started at the Riggs Park Place townhome development on the southeast corner of South Dakota Avenue and Riggs Road NE. The construction entrance is located on South Dakota Avenue, so you will see flaggers in that area directing traffic to stop to allow construction trucks to enter and exit the site.

There will be occasional lane closures on both sides of South Dakota Avenue.

Finally, there is road work taking place all over the city these days, so probably best to give yourself a few extra mintues to get wherever you need to go.
