Extension Of Time For The Temporary Move Of The 8th Street Bus Stops
For 90 & 92 Metrobuses To The North Side Of H Street
The 8th Street N.E. bus stops for the northbound and southbound 90 and 92 Metrobuses will continue to be on 8th Street just north of H Street – instead of the permanent locations on 8th Street just south of H Street – until approximately Thursday, September 9.
The bus stops were moved this short distance north to accommodate construction of the new 8th Street sidewalks on the south side of H Street. As shown in the photo below, the construction contractor is now proceeding to build the new bus pads in the curb lanes on the southeast and southwest side of 8th Street.
During this additional work, the 90 & 92 Metrobuses will continue to make their 8th Street stops just north of H Street at locations marked by temporary bus stop signs.
We expect the bus pad work to be completed on or before Thursday, September 9, at which time the 8th Street bus stops will be resumed at their normal location just south of H Street.
The work is part of the District Department of Transportation’s H Street Reconstruction Project. More information about the project is available on the DDOT website, http://ddot.dc.gov/DC/DDOT/ under the Ward 6 portion of the “Projects and Planning” section.
