On or about Wednesday, August 7, 2019, DC Water's contractor will begin work at the 6th & R Streets, NW construction site which will require the daytime closure of R Street between 6th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW.  DC Water’s contractor will install a utility trench across R Street to establish the water supply to the adjacent construction site. This work is expected to take five days to complete and will occur between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM to have the least possible impact on rush hour traffic. Please follow all road signs and directions. Travel Detours and Parking Restrictions R Street, which travels in a one-way direction heading west, will be closed between 6th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW. Motorists and bicyclists traveling on R Street will be detoured south onto 6th Street. The detour continues right (west) onto P Street and then right (north) on 7th Street. The 24-hour parking restrictions on both sides of R Street between 6th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW will remain in place. Pedestrian Detour Pedestrians must walk along the southern sidewalk on R Street between 6th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW. The northern sidewalk on R Street will remain closed during construction. Between R Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW pedestrians must walk on the eastern side of 6th Street. The western sidewalk on 6th Street will remain closed during construction. Pedestrians will notice signage for the closed sidewalk restricting access. 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.
