To facilitate the repair, a single lane closure will be in effect on Philadelphia Avenue. WSSC personnel will be on-site to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians. Flaggers will be stationed to direct traffic and maintain a smooth flow during the repair.

In the event that the work zone expands beyond the single lane closure, it may necessitate a temporary closure of the roadway. In such case, a detour will be established to minimize disruptions to local traffic.
