Curious about what’s going on down at M and 11th Street SE?
Darn tired of all the Detours?
Want to know how this project will improve your movements across and onto/off the Hill?
Concerned about commuter traffic cutting through neighborhoods?
Wonder about those “Overlooks”?
Here is your opportunity to get all your questions answered and your curiosity sated: Wed 5 June, 7pm, National Community Church, 535 8th Street SE
That’s when you can hear a presentation by DDOT and Bridge Officials on the background, current status, and future plans for the trio of bridges, the building of which has been underway since 2009. The 2 freeway bridges linking I-695 with I-295 are completed; the Local bridge that connects Capitol Hill and Anacostia is almost completed. But, not all of the connections to the connections have been built, especially on the Capitol Hill side of the river. An old “outbound freeway” has almost been demolished, while a new one is rising. An on ramp at 11th Street for westbound traffic is open; a off ramp onto 11th Street for eastbound traffic is being built. And, that 8th Street eastbound on ramp that was closed a few months ago? A new one will be created over the next months.
There will be a sign up sheet at the meeting for those who wish to take a future tour of the project.
This presentation and the Q&A to follow is the major part of the ANC6B’s June Transportation Committee meeting. Other committee matters will be taken care of from 630pm to 7pm on 5 June. This will include a letter to DDOT on the results of the 2nd meeting of the Pennsylvania and Potomac Avenues Intersections Pedestrian Safety Study.
