Traffic Pattern Change at the Intersection of New Hampshire Ave NE, South Dakota Ave NE, and McDonald Place NE, November 15, 2023, to January 17, 2024
(WASHINGTON, DC) —The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is advising all stakeholders to continue to expect intermittent lane closures and traffic pattern changes at the Intersection of New Hampshire Ave NE – South Dakota Ave NE and McDonald Place NE. Please see the following information for updated lane closures and traffic pattern changes:
Utility Upgrade Construction
As part of the Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Project, the utility upgrades at this intersection will begin on Wednesday, November 15, 2023. These utility upgrades are intended to improve drainage and pedestrian safety at the intersection. Two-way vehicle traffic flow will be maintained during peak and off-peak hours on South Dakota Ave NE, and two travel lanes in each direction on New Hampshire Ave NE during peak hours only. Impacted locations will be contacted to accommodate access to these facilities.
These lane closures and traffic pattern changes are necessary to complete utility upgrades work in the most efficient manner as a part of the Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Project.
Sidewalk and Trail Construction
As part of the planned Metropolitan Branch Trail work in the abovementioned area, intermittent temporary sidewalk closures will be taking place to relocate curb/gutter sections, upgrade utilities, and place additional traffic control poles at the intersection corners. To improve pedestrian safety and provide enough space, pedestrian detours will be in place, where possible, to move pedestrians to the opposite side of the roadway at the closest accessible crosswalk. Each impacted location will be contacted directly to coordinate a location specific pedestrian egress plan through that specific section of sidewalk.
Traffic controls, including signage, will be in place to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zone. All users of the roadway are advised to stay alert and be observant of signage and work zones while traveling in this area.
Once complete, the Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Project will include improvements such as a new multi-use trail section, sidewalks, streetlights, green area revitalization, and other streetscape elements.
For more information about this project and to stay up to date on traffic related impacts and construction progress, please visit https://mbt-forttotten-takoma.ddot.dc.gov.
