FY26-DDOT-IPMA-MLK Phase 2 - from South Capitol St to 4th St

The contract encompasses a comprehensive corridor improvement project along the MLK corridor from South Capitol Street to 4th Street, focusing on transportation infrastructure upgrades. It includes full reconstruction and resurfacing of roadways and pavements, installation of new traffic signals along with modifications to existing ones, and enhancement of pedestrian infrastructure through ADA-compliant ramps, sidewalk and curb rehabilitation, and improved signage and pavement markings. The scope also extends to drainage system repairs including catch basin reconstruction, green infrastructure integration, streetlighting upgrades, and the installation of communication conduit. Additional elements involve streetscape enhancements such as landscaping, street furniture installation, and broader corridor improvements aimed at improving safety, accessibility, and aesthetics. In parallel, DC Water will undertake the replacement of water mains within the project corridor, ensuring coordinated utility work with the transportation improvements. All work is scheduled under the FY26-DDOT-IPMA-MLK Phase 2 initiative, posted as a forecast on July 23, 2026, by the District of Columbia Department of Transportation. The project represents a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary effort to modernize infrastructure, support equitable access, and integrate utility upgrades with roadway enhancements to create a more resilient and functional urban corridor.
