Beginning Friday, May 24th, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will reduce the speed limit from 50 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour on the section of I-295 between the area south of Exit 1: US Naval Research Laboratory and the area south of East Capitol Street – see map.

The speed reduction is being implemented to help protect all workers and ensure that all drivers operate in a consistent and safe manner while traveling through the corridor encompassing five active construction projects.

Multiple signs will be posted along the I-295 corridor to alert motorists to changes in the speed limit. Drivers are advised to stay alert while traveling through these locations and to be observant of personnel.
