Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Drives Rehabilitation

The National Park Service (NPS) is entering the final phase of the project to completely rehabilitate the roads in Fort Dupont Park. Beginning Monday, March 11, the National Park Service will close portions of Fort Davis Drive to drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. This work follows the successful rehabilitation of Fort Dupont Drive that was completed in fall 2018.

On Monday, October 29, the National Park Service will begin the second phase of work to rehabilitate roads in Fort Dupont Park. The work will involve closing one lane on Fort Davis Drive. A flagger will direct one-way traffic while work is happening. All lanes of Fort Davis Drive will remain open during rush hour.

The National Park Service is preparing to rehabilitate Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Drives in Southeast Washington, DC. Drivers should expect road closures to begin on or about October 1 and run through Spring 2019. The $4 million project will improve access by ensuring smoother, safer drives through Fort Dupont Park. To reduce inconveniences for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, the work will be performed in phases.

Much anticipated construction will begin this fall
