WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was at the Lincoln Memorial Sunday. He participated in a virtual town hall event for Fox News about the country reopening.
Those commuting around the National Mall had to deal with some delays and closures as many streets around the area are blocked off.
The following roads that were closed Sunday reopened early Monday:
- Henry Bacon Drive Northwest between Constitution Avenue and Lincoln Memorial Circle.
- 23rd Street Southwest between Independence Avenue and Daniel Chester French Drive.
- Ohio Drive Southwest between Inlet Bridge and 23rd Street.
- The Arlington Memorial Bridge is closed as well as Independence Avenue, west of 17th Street Southwest.
- Maine Avenue west of 15th Street
- Independence Avenue West of 15th Street
- 17th Street south of Constitution Avenue.
Other areas including the Potomac River Freeway exits to Ohio Drive and to Independence Avenue, as well as Rock Creek Parkway Drive between Virginia Avenue and Independence Avenue, also reopened.
Beyond road closures, emergency parking restrictions were also in effect. All of the closures were lifted by midnight, meaning normal -- but socially distant-- commutes are back May 4.
