Coming Soon! Repaving of Ft. Dupont & Ft. Davis Drives, SE

Press Release: September 4, 2018

WASHINGTON— The  National Park Service (NPS) has cleared the last major hurdle before beginning a $4 million complete rehabilitation of Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Drives in Southeast Washington, DC. The Federal Highway Administration, on behalf of the NPS, awarded a construction contract on August 30 to repave the entire roadways and improve stormwater management along the roadways.

“I know many people have been looking forward to this for sometime. Repairing Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Drives has been one of my top priorities since becoming Superintendent,” said  Superintendent Tara Morrison. “The project will improve access for everyone in Fort Dupont Park, and will also help us preserve the historic character of the these roads.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

NO PLASTIC BAGS in the RECYCLE BIN

Residents who receive the Department of Public Works’ (DPW) recycling collection, PLEASE be aware that plastic bags and plastic wraps will no longer be accepted in the District of Columbia’s residential curbside recycling program. On a daily basis, these items clog and shutdown machinery used for screening and processing of products received at local recycling facilities.

Soon, residents will receive a post card detailing the types of plastic bags and warps not accepted for curbside single stream residential recycling. While DPW will no longer collect these items as a part of your recycling collection, most supermarkets and large retailers have plastic shopping bag return/recycling bin in their stores.
