Northbound traffic on North Monroe Avenue between 10th Street NW and 12th Street NW will be detoured to North Jefferson Avenue beginning Wednesday, July 10th for approximately one week.
Lanes on 12th Street NW near the North Monroe Avenue intersection (just east of the 12th Street overpass) will have reduced widths to accommodate a work zone.
This closure is necessary for underground utility improvements as part of the City’s 2018-19 Sanitary Sewer Repairs Project.
City Engineering Department staff advises motorists to avoid this area and plan to use alternate routes during this closure.
