Beginning Summer 2025, DC’s District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin the Pennsylvania Avenue Streetscape Project. The project will bring utility, sidewalk, bike lane, and traffic lane improvements to Pennsylvania Ave. between 17th St and 22nd St NW. The project will occur in multiple phases over approximately 24 months. For additional project details, please visit the project website.
GW community members can expect to see increased road closures, access restrictions, and traffic around the Foggy Bottom campus.
