NIGHT WORK:

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) would like to extend its appreciation for your patience and understanding while work is being conducted on the Reconstruction of the Monroe Street NE Bridge over WMATA & CSX tracks.

Since it is completely unsafe to perform demolition when CSX and Metro trains are using the tracks under the bridge, DDOT’s contractor is only permitted to work in the early morning hours from 12 am to 5 am, when WMATA and CSX trains are not running. Unfortunately, during the demolition phase of this project, this work can be a little noisy. We realize this may cause some inconvenience to the neighboring community, and we sincerely apologize for the noise levels. The project team is working to minimize the noise level as much as possible, and to complete the demolition phase as quickly and as safely as possible.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding, as we reconstruct a safer Monroe Street NE Bridge.
