DDOT to tackle roadway improvements on 2700-2800 blocks of Brandywine

DDOT is about to start a roadway improvement project on Brandywine Street between Broad Branch and Linnean Avenue, which will shut down one lane of traffic at times. Work will begin on or around Thursday, May 7th and take about four weeks. Hours of work will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no on-street parking on these blocks for the duration of the project.

Here’s the notice from DDOT:

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin a Roadway Improvement project along Brandywine Street, NW between Broad Branch Road, NW and Linnean Avenue, NW, on or about Thursday, May 7, 2015. This work will be conducted in two phases. Phase one will be concrete work that is estimated to take approximately three (3) weeks to complete, weather permitting.

The second phase will be asphalt roadway paving. There will be a second notification letter sent to all residents in the impacted area that will list the start date and the estimated duration of work prior to the start of the asphalt roadway paving phase of this project. Additionally, this work includes the upgrading of wheel chair ramps, repair of sidewalks, repair of curbs and gutters within the project limits.

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 embassies 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 project engineer Mr. Jamal Anwar at (703)992-3692.
