Here’s some good news for those of us who regularly drive inbound on lower 14th Street in the District: The city is beginning a project this work to repave the road between the bridges and Constitution Avenue. This is one of those “gateway” roads that shape the impression many tourists have of the city as they sit in the back seat of a cab coming in from the airport. For the past couple of years, this road, especially the stretch from C Street to Independence, has been a bumpy mess.

As is the case more often than not anymore, this work will be done at night. Crews will block various lanes from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily and should have the job wrapped up in about a month.
