The U Street, NW Upgrade project is being conducted by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Infrastructure Project Management Administration.  The U Street corridor project will encompass a nine-block stretch from extending from 9th Street to on the east to 18th Street and Florida Avenue on the west. Construction work on the U Street NW Upgrade project is scheduled to begin in 2013. Visit the website for the U Street, NW Upgrade project.  DDOT also offers a new dashboard view , which provides a detailed status report of the different phases of the project.

A Steering Committee, which officers of the U Street Neighborhood Association have been a part of, was created that includes the U Street residents, small business owners, the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) commissioners, the local U Street civic associations, non-profit organizations, schools, emergency medical, public safety, and the District government officials. The Steering Committee was instrumental in voicing the collective community interest in the project design and shared comments regarding the project via public meetings, emails, phone, and through DDOT officials.

The project is currently in the final design phase.  A Transportation Management Plan (TMP) is concurrently being developed for the project which is a comprehensive document that details the work zone impact management strategies and how they will be implemented.
