Road paving equipment waiting to go on Upshur Street.

ANC Commissioner Debbie Matties (4C 05) posted an email from DDOT to the Petworth listserv about upcoming repaving of Upshur Street between Kansas and Arkansas Ave. (Boy, does this stretch need to be repaved!). (Was supposed to start Thursday, April 23rd…)

——————————

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin Phase II of the Roadway Improvement project along Upshur Street, N.W. between Kansas Avenue, N.W. and Arkansas Avenue, N.W. on or about Thursday, April 23, 2020.

This work will include resurfacing of roadway pavement within the project limits. It is estimated to take approximately one (1) week to complete, weather permitting.

If weather conditions, schedule changes or unforeseen issues do not permit our contractor to begin this work on the date stated above, the new start date for construction will be listed on the Emergency No Parking Signs posted on the poles and trees throughout the construction project site.

Throughout the construction area, at least one lane of traffic will be maintained. Access to the adjacent houses will also be maintained. Curbside parking will be restricted at this location during construction hours. “EMERGENCY NO PARKING” signs will be posted seventy-two (72) hours prior to the commencement of construction in your area.

All work will be conducted from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.

DDOT thanks you in advance for your patience and understanding during the construction; if you have any questions or concerns, please contact our engineer Mr. Delante Toyer at delante.toyer@dc.gov or (202)-391-8236(c) or (202)-671-4572(o).
