Due to the construction of the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Medical/Surgical Pavilion, two-way traffic on Reservoir Road NW will be temporarily reduced to one-way (alternating directions) to protect motorists' safety. 

One-lane traffic on Reservoir Road NW is currently scheduled for June 5, June 9, June 12 and possibly June 13. Dates may shift if inclement weather causes delays. On those dates, flaggers will direct vehicular traffic to ensure motorists' safety. Please plan for extra time if traveling on Reservoir Road NW on those dates. 

In addition, there are "No Parking" signs posted on both sides of Reservoir Road NW between 38th St NW and 39th St NW. Parking restrictions will be strictly enforced until the Metrobus stop relocation work is complete. 

If you have any questions, please contact Matt Maio, construction executive at Trammell Crow Company by email or at 202-360-5735.
