WASHINGTON — Crews are working to fix a partial road collapse on 17th Street, NW, about a block from the White House.

As a result, 17th Street, NW remains closed north of Constitution Avenue, between C and E streets.

Northbound diverts at C Street. Southbound 17th Street diverts at New York Avenue.

Eighteenth, 15th and K streets are open.

The problem developed before 5 p.m. Tuesday. DC Water estimates 17th Street should reopen next week.

One attack, many Americas: Why 9/11 and its many griefs land differently 25 years later

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — When the planes crashed and the buildings fell on that sunny September morning 25 years ago, the shock waves of dismay and grief went far past downtown New York City, rural western Pennsylvania and just outside Washington, D.C. They radiated through every part of the United States in communities large and small, tearing at Americans' sense of safety and their place in the world. Hearts were broken across the nation, not just of those who lost their loved ones but among strangers who mourned for them, the Sept. 11 attacks leaving no one unaffected in an unwanted moment of horrifying togetherness. A quarter of a century later, the effects linger. We all live in a post-9/11 world, with its security strictures and surveillance. But here's the thing: Americans don't all live in the SAME one. What the attacks and their aftermath have come to mean isn't a single viewpoint shared by everyone, for reasons chronological, political and personal. It's a tapestry of meaning and grief as varied as the nation in which 9/11 took place.
