DISTRICT
Douglass Bridge closed for repair
The northbound side of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge will be closed for repair this weekend, transportation officials said.
The northbound lanes will be closed from 10 a.m. tomorrow until Monday morning before rush hour. It is the first of about nine weekend closures through early June.
In July and August, the entire bridge is scheduled to be closed, allowing for completion of major construction that would take more than a year to finish with temporary closures.
"The weekend closures and an uninterrupted two-month work period in the summer are expected to improve safety for residents, commuters and workers alike," said John Deatrick, the District Department of Transportation's deputy director and chief engineer.
The Douglass Bridge connects South Capitol Street with the Suitland Parkway across the Anacostia River.
