One of the two primary commercial runways at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport is closing next week for runway reconstruction.

The runway will close Monday for the next two months. The repairs are part of a series of improvements BWI is making to its airfield spanning several years, including runway repairs, improving areas surrounding the runways and upgrading navigational tools.

Typically, when both of the commercial runways are in use, one of them is used for arrivals and the other for departures, said BWI spokesman Jonathan Dean.

The runway closure shouldn’t really affect travelers, Dean said. The main exception would be during “poor or extreme weather conditions.” In other words, if there are already delays due to the weather, those could be compounded by having one runway out of service.

The intersection of these runways was reconstructed last September.

The District Department of Transportation will host a public meeting on Saturday at 5 p.m. to discuss work on the 1400 block of 14th Street NW.

Projects on both sides of the street will alter traffic in that area. DDOT officials and representatives from the private developers will discuss the projects and what local residents can expect in terms of traffic changes.

The meeting will take place at the Reeves Center in the 2nd Floor Community Room (2000 14th Street NW).

The Reeves Center is accessible via the Green or Yellow Lines (the U Street Metro station is one block east of the center).

Here we go again: A lane closure on New York Avenue could create delays in Northeast Washington this weekend.

Eastbound New York Avenue will be down to just one lane between Florida Avenue and Penn Street from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. The westbound lanes will remain open.

The closure is part of the New York Avenue Bridge rehabilitation project. It comes two weeks after this stretch of the roadway was entirely closed for much of a Saturday.

The passenger killed early Thursday in a crash on Interstate 395 has been identified as 25-year-old A. Tawab Ebadi of Chantilly.

Edabi was in the back seat of an Audi A8 being driven by Javed Hussaini, 25, of Manassas, when it ran off the road, spun around and hit a tree, according to the Virginia State Police.

The car hit the tree with enough force to split the vehicle in half, sending part over the guardrail, police said.

9:05 A.M. Update:

Traffic has eased considerably on I-95 North in Virginia. Things are moving smoothly approaching the Springfield Interchange. Some congestion remains around Dale City and Woodbridge, but it has largely cleared up after being jammed up for several hours this morning.

In case you missed it: A fatal early morning accident on I-395 South at Duke Street resulted in one death and sent three other people to the hospital, according to Virginia State Police.

The accident at South Capitol and N streets SE has been cleared. And the truck in the Third Street Tunnel is on the shoulder of the southbound side of the tunnel, so that shouldn’t impact traffic.
