Rock Creek Parkway

A portion of Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway that had been shutdown due to repair work since Thursday reopened Sunday evening after crews finished their work nearly 36 hours ahead of schedule, the Kennedy Center said in statement.

The section will close to all traffic starting Thursday, to allow for the installation of a new pedestrian bridge that will connect the arts center to the riverfront.

Part of Rock Creek Parkway will be closed for all of Friday and Monday’s rush hours, as well as the weekend.

Significant safety changes have been approved for several spots along Rock Creek Parkway, including near the Kennedy Center and Memorial Bridge, where it can be tough for fast-moving cars to see people walking or biking.
