On Sunday, one travel lane on 16th Street NW will be reopened in each direction.

Drivers on I Street NW will be able to continue west or make a right onto northbound 16th Street NW. There will be no left turns allowed from I Street NW to southbound 16th Street NW.

The center of the plaza will be designated for pedestrians and protected from vehicle traffic.
