Earlier a gas line was ruptured during construction at Hotel Harrington. Due to the scope of the rupture, we had to shut off power to the site, which included the surrounding blocks. The gas to the building has now been shut off and Pepco is working to restore power.

DGS has been building, maintaining, & sustaining the District— investing over $7.4 billion in our cities’ facilities for the last 15 years! We celebrated many of the District’s unsung heroes— from the people who lay the groundwork, to those who build the foundation, to the ones solving problems to keep the work of good government going in DC. We can’t wait to continue this work for the next 15+ years! Thank you, Team DGS!🎉 #DGS15
