Work on 8th & 9th Streets will take place between I Street & K Street and involves: (1) removing and installing new ADA compliant sidewalks and (2) street improvements, which include – crosswalks, intersections, parking, bike lanes, and drainage. Additionally, to further remind, street improvements will include updates on paths of travel and 9th street will be one-way vehicle travel to K Street and 8th Street will be one-way vehicle travel from K Street to F Street. Portions of the work may require temporary lane closures. Traffic control and flaggers will be in place to help mitigate disruptions in the roadway.
