Concrete Pour Rescheduled For Thursday Feb 17
At 12th Street Intersection on South Side of H Street NE
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has authorized its contractor to close the south side of the H Street intersection with 12th Street to through traffic from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 17, 2011.
The closing is necessary to accommodate the pouring of concrete for the streetcar track slab. This was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but has been rescheduled, and the intersection will be open to traffic on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the 700 block of 12th Street – this is the block just south of H Street – will be available only to local residential traffic. Northbound and southbound motorists are encouraged to use 13th Street as an alternative. Pedestrians may cross H Street at the 11th or 13th Street intersections during the period the 12th Street intersection is closed.
The intersection was closed during daytime hours on Tuesday, February 15, for the installation of the streetcar tracks across the intersection in preparation for the concrete pour.
The work is part of DDOT’s H Street Reconstruction Project. More information about the project is available on the DDOT website, at dashboard.ddot.dc.gov under the Ward 6 Projects Link.
