Now that summertime fun is over, time for the orange barrels to come out of hiding:
Starting this Thursday, the new bridge at I-66W over the Beltway is having steel beams put in place. I-495 will see total lane closures from 9:30 pm to 5 am Monday through Thursday nights for the next two weeks.
DDOT is closing a portion of the 1300 block of Park Road, NW. The section east of 14th Street will be shut to traffic from 7 am to 7 pm from today through Saturday.
MDOT will be shifting traffic on New Hampshire Ave near Bonifant Road / Good Hope Road for bridge construction tomorrow and Thursday.
I-270 has its share of issues, too. Resurfacing begins on a four-mile stretch between Middlebrook and Muddy Branch roads. This will force single lane closures between 9 am and 3 pm M-F and double lane closings overnights Sunday – Thursday between 7 pm and 4:30 am.

A certified hockey fanatic, he spends some time debating the Washington Capitals club with friends – but everyone knows of his three decade love affair with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
