(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) advises residents and motorists that the 9th Street Tunnel downtown will be closed to traffic from 7:30 pm on Friday, June 8 to 5 am Monday, June 11.
The closure is to enable DDOT to carry out resurfacing work inside the tunnel. The work is weather permitting.
Motorists are advised to use the following detours:
- 7th Street to L’Enfant, SW Waterfront, and I-395 northbound
- 14th Street and 15th Street to I-395 southbound
DDOT expects this weekend closure to have minimal impact on vehicular traffic, and the tunnel is slated to be re-opened by 5 am on Monday June 11 for the morning rush hours.
