The specific area of the work is at King George Street from Randall Street (near Gate 1 of the United States Naval Academy) to the end of the Navy wall just before the intersection at Maryland Avenue. The initial few days of work at the King George/Randall Street intersection will be conducted at night. The remaining work will take place during the day.
No work will be performed during the week of Christmas and New Years, unless additional emergency work is required. Work will resume on January 2, 2025.
