I’m told by the DMV that: “the Georgetown DMV will reopen! We don’t have a date at this time, and are still working through repairs from the significant flooding the location experienced.”
ICYMI: “On February 5, the Georgetown DMV Service Center experienced a significant water main break. Due to flooding impacts, the Georgetown DMV Service Center will remain closed to the public until further notice.”
Stay tuned for a reopening date when it’s announced.

From the National Park Service:
“The National Park Service is taking the next step toward authorizing the demolition of the Foundry Branch streetcar bridge in Glover-Archbold Park.
On July 15, the NPS released the final Memorandum of Agreement for the proposed removal of the structure. The MOA will be available on the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment website at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/foundrybranchbridge.
The structure, which is owned by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, spans federal parkland and is historically significant as the last remaining streetcar bridge in the District of Columbia. It is also a contributing resource to Glover-Archbold Park. Managed by the National Park Service’s Rock Creek Park, Glover-Archbold Park is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the DC Inventory of Historic Sites.
Since 2014, feasibility and engineering studies have assessed whether the bridge could be adapted for uses such as a recreational trail. Despite these evaluations, the bridge remains in an extreme state of disrepair and poses a safety hazard. Conditions included in the National Park Service Special Use Permit will allow WMATA to temporarily use federal parkland to stage equipment and materials and to access the site.
After demolition, the area will be cleared of materials and replanted with native vegetation to support the park’s natural environment. The historic Glover-Archbold Park trail that passes under the bridge will also be reopened after years of closure, reestablishing an important pedestrian connection and improving access to the park for visitors.

From DC Water:
“Starting the week of July 13, 2026, people who live, work or travel near the Canal Road NW entrance to Georgetown University may hear controlled blasting. This work is part of our Potomac River Tunnel Project.
When blasting happens, neighbors may hear a brief noise or feel light shaking. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on Canal Road NW may also be stopped for a few minutes while we safely complete each blast.
We need to blast underground to dig a deep shaft at the northern end of the 5.5-mile tunnel system. The shaft will help connect the new tunnel to the sewer system we already have.
Two tunnel boring machines (TBM) will dig the tunnel. The TBM Mary will tunnel the 2.4-mile section to the Georgetown University site. Her sister TBM, Emily, will tunnel the 3.1 miles south to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and connect to the existing Anacostia River Tunnel. When the tunnel is finished in 2030, it will help keep stormwater and wastewater out of the Potomac River during heavy rain.
