14th Street Bridge Work Delayed for a Week

The massive two-year-long 14th Street bridge construction project was scheduled to begin on Monday, but the start of work has been postponed until Tuesday, May 26, the day after Memorial Day, WTOP reports. The change in plan is due to a need to coordinate traffic control with the National Park Service, according to DDOT.

I like how the linked article says in paragraph 10:

No lanes will be closed during the project, but they will be shifted, slowing drivers down.

and then two paragraphs later:

Drivers should expect there to be off-peak lane closures on weekdays between 10 a.m and 2:30 p.m. On the weekends, there could be multiple lane closures between 5 a.m. Saturday and 5 a.m. Monday.

Well done, WTOP.

This is going to lead to the trafficpocalypse. Seriously, I am dreading it. If you use the bridge on Sats or Suns, be prepared to sit and curse and stew.
