Heading Across Rock Creek Park? Avoid Park Rd.

IN THE ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN saga over whether to re-open Klingle Road across Rock Creek Park between Mount Pleasant and Woodley Park, advocates of rebuilding the long-deteriorating roadway have said that traffic on Porter Street NW heading across the park has grown to become a congested quagmire over the years.

Through mid-summer, expect the number of cars on Porter Street to increase, as the nearest cross-park alternative, Park Road, is closed between Mount Pleasant and Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park. Earlier this week, District construction crews began work to mill and resurface the roadway. The project is scheduled to wrap up by mid-July.
