The D.C. Department of Transportation will shut down up to three lanes of the northbound 14th Street Bridge over several nights next week for repairs. The project is scheduled to take four nights, with all work anticipated to be finished by Friday morning.

The shut downs will start at 9 p.m. Monday, weather permitting, and all lanes will reopen in time for the morning rush hour, said transportation spokeswoman Karyn LeBlanc. The work is to include required maintenance and some emergency repairs, including work on the steel plates at the center of the bridge.

Up to three lanes at a time may be temporarily closed and drivers should expect minor delays.

The four-lane northbound bridge span opened in 1950, 12 years before the completion of the southbound span.
