While all new roadway pavement has been poured for the 2021 season, there is considerable activity still underway on the O Avenue NW project.

Ongoing traffic impacts include:
  • O Avenue is closed to through traffic between Woodside Drive and Blanche Drive. Some limited local access is preserved. Through traffic is not permitted. This work is expected to wrap up in the next two weeks and through traffic will be restored.
  • O Avenue is open to two-way traffic in all other areas of the project.

Ongoing work between 27th Street and 30th Street NW includes:

  • Reconstruction of the sanitary sewer and services is nearly complete. We expect to complete this work early October.
  • Installation of the box culvert on the south side of O Avenue has resumed. This work will continue as long as conditions allow. The culvert will eventually turn north at 30th Street to connect to existing storm sewer.
  • The concrete pavement over the sanitary sewer trench is only temporary. This pavement will be removed and replaced with final pavement next year when sanitary sewer and box culvert work are completed in this area.

Work between 24th Street and 27th Street NW includes:

  • Driveway and sidewalk construction resumes this week and will continue pending crew availability.
  • Sodding of remaining disturbed areas east of 27th Street will begin next week.

Work between 20th Street and 24th Street NW includes:

  • Permanent pavement markings, including bicycle lane markings, will be placed while overnight temperatures allow. Temporary pavement markings will be placed between 24th Street and Edgewood Road NW.

Work between 30th Street and Edgewood Road NW includes:

  • The new water main is in place on the north side of O Avenue. The contractor will reach out to individual property owners as water services are transferred from the existing water main to the new main in late October.
