Reconstruction work on Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C., is set to begin on Monday, causing temporary closures around some areas near the White House. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will be leading the reconstruction, which is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete, weather permitting. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the project, stating that her administration has long considered the plaza’s evolution. The Black Lives Matter mural on the plaza became a symbol during the protests against police brutality in 2020. The project aims to enhance the important corridor while minimizing disruptions and maintaining accessibility for businesses and residents. DDOT will coordinate closely with local stakeholders to ensure a smooth process. Mayor Bowser emphasized focusing on economic growth, public safety, and supporting residents affected by federal job cuts, rather than being distracted by congressional interference. The project is part of a new DC mural project and is expected to bring improvements to the area. Temporary closures are expected during the reconstruction, which will begin on or about March 10, 2025. Residents and businesses are asked for their patience and cooperation during this period.
