Prospect Street Construction and Repairs Continue

If you are contemplating using Prospect St. to get through Georgetown today, think again. Repairs to a sewer line have the 3300 block closed between 34th and Banks Sts. and has cars sharing one lane of traffic. 

DC Water's repairs to the sewer line should wrap up by 2:30 p.m.

After yesterday's road collapse on the 3200 block of Prospect, crews today finished work on the exposed gas line and have filled in the gaping hole the collapse left in the street. According to one Washington Gas employee on the scene, the ground had looked unsteady prior to the collapse. The employee said we were lucky that the debris had not hit or damaged the line,which could have exploded he said.

Gravel and rocks now fill the hole and a steel plate will  once again cover the hole in front of . 

Avoid driving on Prospect St. if possible.
