On 8th Street, local traffic only will be permitted, and Kimpton Hotel Monaco traffic may enter at 8th Street and E Street during the closure period.
Vehicles parked in violation of the posted emergency no parking signs will be ticketed and towed, MPD warned, and the public should be guided by the posted signage. All street closures and listed times are subject to change based on prevailing or unexpected conditions, the advisory said.
Motorists could encounter delays in the vicinity of the market and may wish to consider alternate routes, MPD and the District Department of Transportation said, reminding drivers to proceed with caution as increased pedestrian traffic can be anticipated. Timely traffic information is posted through the DC Police Traffic account, MPD said.
