'This stretch of road near the Lincoln Memorial will close for 6 years
as part of project to keep sewer overflow out of Potomac River.
Heads up, drivers: A small chunk of road along the Potomac River in D.C., near a key commuter route, is set to close for the next six years — and it could impact your drive into and out of the District.
The portion of Ohio Drive in Southwest D.C. that will close Monday, June 17, is from Independence Avenue to West Basin Drive. That’s south of the Lincoln Memorial, just off the Arlington Memorial Bridge. The road won’t fully reopen until 2030. It’s all part of a major project to build a massive tunnel to keep sewer overflow from gushing into the Potomac River during heavy rain.
