Live updates: Military parade in DC closes streets amid chance of storms
What to Know
- The festival and massive military parade in D.C. will celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary, which also falls on President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
- Here’s what to know about what time the parade starts, the security perimeter and possible flight delays at DCA.
- There’s a chance that storms could rain on Trump’s military parade — they could roll in just as the parade is expected to gear up.
- Road closures for the parade include the Arlington Memorial Bridge, as well as the inbound Roosevelt Bridge’s splits to Constitution and Independence avenues, and some exits on I-395 in downtown D.C. In addition, the GW Parkway will be closed in both directions between U.S. 50 and I-395.
Expect big crowds, fireworks, troops and tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue — as well as traffic and travel disruptions, a protest and debate over the cost of the festivities.
