DDOT says repairs tied to an April Metrobus fire will keep work going through June 2027.
Lane closures are coming to the 9th Street Tunnel, according to WUSA9. DDOT says the work is tied to repairs from damage caused by an April Metrobus fire, and the closures are expected to last through June 2027. WUSA9 identifies the affected area as the 9th Street Tunnel in Northwest.
Why it matters: If the 9th Street Tunnel is part of your regular route, this is not a quick construction headache. A closure timeline running through June 2027 means drivers should build in backup plans.
