Wisconsin Circle lane closure to affect traffic, buses in Friendship Heights Fri./Sat.

Wisconsin Circle will be closed west-to-east this weekend from 8:00 PM Friday night, November 11, until 12:00 noon Saturday afternoon for construction. Not only will this eastbound lane be closed to vehicles between Wisconsin Avenue and Western Avenue, but some bus routes at the Friendship Heights Metro station will be affected.

The venerable L8 Metrobus will depart its bay at Friendship Heights, and take a left turn from Wisconsin Avenue onto Willard Avenue. It will then take Friendship Boulevard back to Western Avenue, and continue on to Aspen Hill as normal. This will end when the lane reopens at noon Saturday.

The T2 Metrobus will divert from Willard Avenue to Western and Wisconsin via Friendship Boulevard, and use the L8 bus bay until noon Saturday.

Ride On Routes 29 and 34 will make similar detours until noon on Saturday. The Metro station will remain open throughout the lane closure.
