The District Department of Transportation will begin its repaving program when the weather warms up in the coming weeks, and on Thursday, it released a map of which roads, sidewalks, and alleys it will fix this year.
So far, 85 miles of roads, 29 miles of sidewalks, and 109 alleys are on the docket in 2021 — though that number may grow — and the work is spread out fairly equally among the eight wards. That’s slightly down from the 132 miles of roads DDOT repaved last year, when it also filled 27,768 potholes.
“Keeping our infrastructure in a state of good repair is critical to all the other work that we do as a department to keep the traveling public safe,” Interim DDOT Director Everett Lott said in a statement on Wednesday.

Some major projects include repaving most of Rhode Island Avenue, 16th Street NW, MacArthur Boulevard, I-695, and Pennsylvania Avenue SE.
The District’s roads are notoriously bad in some places. When D.C. launched the initiative in 2018, more than a third of the 1,100 lane miles were in “poor” condition, but DDOT is on track to eliminate those bumpy roads by 2024. (DDOT’s guide explains how it characterizes road conditions.) In previous years, DDOT has used a vehicle with sensors and lasers to detect just how cracked and corroded roads were.
If your roads are in bad shape, report it by calling or registering the complaint to 311.

The dashboard only tracks repaving for streets, sidewalks and street markings; the department also handles some multi-use maintenance but does not list that on its website. Other DDOT project tracking like bike lane plans and efforts to revamp dangerous intersections where people were killed are on other websites.
