Motorists in Washington, DC, are advised to prepare for parking restrictions and street closures on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and Thursday, October 29, 2026, according to information released by the DC Metropolitan Police Department. These changes are expected to impact traffic flow in the area due to a special event taking place on those dates.
On Wednesday, October 28, from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Wisconsin Avenue from Hall Place to W Place, NW, will be designated as Emergency No Parking. The following day, Thursday, October 29, from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., additional streets, including Rhode Island Avenue from Connecticut Avenue to 17th Street, NW, and M Street from Connecticut Avenue to 17th Street, NW, will also be marked as Emergency No Parking. Furthermore, Rhode Island Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic during the same time frame.
Additionally, M Street may experience closures for public safety reasons, although access to parking garages will remain available if that street is closed.
