Street Closures for State of the Union

If you're heading east out of Penn Quarter tonight, be aware that streets near the Capitol Complex will be closed beginning at 7 p.m.  They will re-open once the State of the Union address is over and the President has exited the area.

The following streets east of Penn Quarter will be closed this evening:

• D Street, NE between 2nd Street, NE & Louisiana Avenue, NW
• C Street, NE between 2nd Street, NE & Louisiana Avenue, NW
• Constitution Avenue between 2nd Street, NE & Louisiana Avenue, NW
• Delaware Avenue between Columbus Circle & Constitution Avenue, NE
• New Jersey Avenue between Louisiana Avenue, & D Street, NE
• Pennsylvania Avenue between 1st Street, & 3rd Street, NW
• East Capitol Street between 2nd Street, & 1st Street, NE/SE
• 1st Street between Columbus Circle, NE & C Street, SE
• 1st Street between Louisiana Avenue, NW & Washington Avenue, SW

The best alternate route is to go north and around. 

Do not try to cross over to the other side of the mall and then go east, as several streets on the south side of the Capitol will also be closed.
