P St. Work Shifts to Section East of Dupont

IF YOU MENTION the words "P Street" and "streetscape" near each other, you're likely to send business owners into shock, considering the hardships endured by those who lived through the construction between Dupont Circle and 22nd Street NW. With work to the west of Dupont Circle pretty much wrapped up, crews are turning their attention east to the stretch between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle.

But the bulk of the construction is scheduled to wrap up by the end of March, so the pain will be limited. According to the D.C. Department of Transportation, there will be repairs to damaged sidewalks, gutters and bus stop concrete pads, as well as upgrades to wheelchair ramps. The work, which starts Tuesday, will take place on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The roadway is set to be resurfaced later in the spring.

  • luckily, this only affects business seriously on the 1400 block of P. the rest is (mostly) residential and institutional.
