“DDOT will temporarily close 18th Street NW between Kalorama Road NW and Columbia Road NW to all vehicular traffic during specified periods”

From DDOT:

“As part of Mayor Bowser’s ongoing effort to reimagine outdoor space in the District, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close 18th Street NW between Kalorama Road NW and Columbia Road NW to all vehicular traffic during specified periods between Friday, June 26 and Sunday, June 28.

The pilot closure not only supports social distancing as the District continues its response to coronavirus (COVID-19), but also provides more recreational and social opportunities for businesses and the public. Approved restaurants and retail businesses can take advantage of expanded outdoor seating and operations to serve residents and visitors. Cyclists and pedestrians can enjoy additional space in the roadway to travel in both directions along 18th Street NW.

DDOT Traffic Control Officers will be in place throughout the area to direct all modes of traffic. The street will be closed during the timeframes below:

Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27: 3:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.
Sunday, June 28: 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
