NEBT: Large equipment delivery on or about July 9th

Northeast Boundary Tunnel Project
Florida Avenue NW Construction Site
June 26, 2019

Greetings residents and businesses.

Overnight Delivery of Heavy Equipment 
On or about Tuesday, July 9, 2019, DC Water's contractor will deliver a drill rig, which is a large piece of construction equipment, to the Florida Avenue NW Construction Site, located on 3rd Street, NW between Florida Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue, NW. In order to relieve chronic sewer flooding, DC Water is constructing a diversion facility on 3rd Street NW which will include a diversion chamber, a 20-foot diameter drop shaft, and other structures to convey flow from the existing sewer to the Northeast Boundary Tunnel. The drill rig will be used in the construction of the drop shaft.

Because of the size of the drill rig, it will be necessary to deliver it during hours when traffic is reduced on Rhode Island Avenue. The estimated time of this delivery will be between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM. The equipment is being moved from its current position at the Rhode Island NE Construction Site to the 3rd Street, NW site.

https://gallery.mailchimp.com/358b9b0994ac3137e60bff8f9/images/2edcc2e7-a845-4c24-a849-b5720c54afd3.png
A drill rig like the one in the above photo will be delivered unassembled to the Florida Avenue NW Construction Site. 

Residents should be advised they may experience noise from trucks and the removal of the drill rig from a large flatbed vehicle. Assembly of the drill rig will not occur during the overnight hours. The drill rig will be assembled during regular construction hours, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM Monday – Friday.

Drop Shaft Secant Pile Work to Begin
On or about the same day, July 9, work will begin within the fenced construction site to install secant piles as support for the excavation of the drop shaft. For this work, which is expected to be completed in 12 weeks, 3rd Street, NW will continue to be closed to traffic and sidewalk closures will be in place as well as a pedestrian detour on 3rd Street NW.

Pedestrian Detour
  • The crosswalks across 3rd Street at Florida Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue, NW will be reduced in width but will allow for continued and safe pedestrian crossing during construction.

Map of pedestrian detour
The pedestrian detour is indicated by green arrows. The crosswalks at 3rd Street and Florida Avenue, NW and 3rd Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW will be open.

Additional Information
  • People who live or work near the affected locations will notice additional construction equipment and personnel as well as noise associated with construction activities.
  • Commuters and pedestrians will notice road signs and/or flagging personnel directing them safely around the work site. Please slow down, stay calm, and be patient as you approach the work zone.
  • Pedestrians will notice signage for the closed sidewalks reducing access. Follow the pedestrian detour to safely cross 3rd Street, NW.

DC Water NEBT: Mobilization of R Street NW construction site

Not quite in Bloomingdale, but of general interest.

NEBT: Mobilization of R Street NW Construction Site, July 1, 2019












Northeast Boundary Tunnel Project
R Street NW Construction Site Newsletter
May 31, 2019






Greetings residents and businesses.




On or about July 1, 2019, DC Water's contractor will begin fully mobilizing to the R Street NW Construction Site, which will become a major construction component of the Northeast Boundary Tunnel Project (NEBT).
The R Street NW Construction Site is in the park area bounded by
  • 6th Street, NW to the east,
  • R Street, NW to the south and
  • Rhode Island Avenue, NW to the north.
Here, crews will construct a diversion facility to connect the existing sewer system to the NEBT. The facility includes a drop shaft that will serve as the exit point of “Chris” the Tunnel Boring Machine when it completes its excavation and tunnel construction work sometime in late 2021 or early 2022.

The trees and other park features were removed from the Cooper Gordon Park where crews will erect a fence to enclose the area as the construction site. The fence will be covered with a mesh fabric designed to restrict visibility into the site. In addition, the contractor will assemble large equipment, including a crane and silos to make a slurry plant that will be used in constructing slurry walls. The contractor will build slurry walls to stabilize the soil for excavation of the drop shaft which will extend about 70 feet below ground.



Above is a photo of the 4th Street NE Construction Site. The silos and slurry plant are like the those that will be located at the R Street NW Construction Site.




There will be several significant traffic and parking impacts, which are listed below. Commuters, pedestrians and bicyclists are advised to follow all warning signs and flaggers.

Travel and Parking Restrictions

The following travel and parking restrictions will remain in place 24 hours per day, 7 days a week through early 2022.

Rhode Island Avenue, NW
  • Eastbound traffic on Rhode Island Avenue, NW will merge left into two lanes beginning at 7th Street, NW returning to three travel lanes just after 6th Street, NW.
  • Parking will be restricted along the south side of Rhode Island Avenue between 7th Street, NW and Marion Street, NW.
R Street, NW
  • Traffic on R Street, NW will be reduced to one lane between 6th Street, NW and Marion Street, NW.
  • Parking will be restricted along the south side of R Street, NW between 6th Street and Marion Street.
6th Street, NW
  • Southbound traffic on 6th Street, NW will be reduced to one lane south of Rhode Island Avenue.
  • Northbound traffic on 6th Street, NW will maintain two lanes.
  • Parking on 6th Street will be restricted on a portion of the northbound side to allow for lane shifts.



Map of travel and parking restrictions on 6th and R Streets NW
The above map highlights the parking restrictions in blue and the lane shifts on Rhode Island Avenue, NW eastbound and on 6th Street, NW.




Pedestrian Detour
  • Pedestrians will be directed to use the southern sidewalk on R Street, NW across from the construction site and the eastern sidewalk of 6th Street.



Map of pedestrian detour on 6th and R Streets NW
The green arrows indicate the pedestrian detour route around the R Street NW Construction Site in yellow.




Additional Information
  • People who live or work near the affected locations will notice additional construction equipment and personnel as well as noise associated with construction activities.
  • Commuters and pedestrians will notice road signs and/or flagging personnel directing them safely around the work site.
  • Pedestrians will notice signage for the closed sidewalk restricting access.
Project Details
The Northeast Boundary Tunnel is the largest component of the Clean Rivers Project. It begins south of RFK Stadium and will extend north to Rhode Island Avenue, NE and west to 6th Street NW. When complete, the approximately five-mile long tunnel will significantly reduce chronic flooding in areas it serves, as well as reduce the amount of combined sewer overflows into the Anacostia River by 98%.
