You’ve been asking, so here’s the answers so far. Yes, many Metrobus lines are being rerouted around the street closures announced over the weekend for the area surrounding the Hay-Adams Hotel, where the Obama family is living until January 15. Metro spokesperson Steven Taubenkibel pointed us to the Bus alert notice on WMATA’s web site noting that the following routes are on detour around the street closures “until further notice”: all of the 30 buses, plus routes 42, 11Y, G8, P17 and P19, L2, W13, S2 and S4, and X2 and X3.
Looking for more specific details, like turn-by-turn information on the detours? Taubenkibel said he’s still waiting on those himself, so we’ll update when we hear more. In the meantime, expect all of the above bus lines not to pick up passengers at stops along the affected blocks on 16th Street, Connecticut Ave. and H Street.
