Whatever happens in the presidential election, Pennsylvania Avenue will be ready for its close-up, according to the District Department of Transportation.

Construction crews began repaving the avenue between Third and 15th streets NW last night, part of a $2 million project to spruce up the roadway in time for the January inauguration of whoever wins in November

Until Oct. 30, drivers should expect some lanes to be blocked as workers tear up and resurface Pennsylvania and Independence Avenue SW, the latter between Washington Avenue and First Street. Work will occur from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Friday. Rush hours will be spared.

Pennsylvania Avenue looks just fine, doesn't it? Not a pothole in sight.
