This Saturday, March 10, be sure to plan ahead if you’re thinking of driving in Washington, D.C., as there will be a myriad of road closures starting around 6 a.m. These road closures are due to the annual Rock ‘n Roll Marathon, which will feature the Lincoln Memorial, White House, Rock Creek Park, and more. For an interactive version of the course map, be sure to head to the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon website here. According to the Hill is Home local blog, the race will begin at 14th Street NW and Constitution Avenue NW.
On Twitter, the D.C. Police Department posted a list of which road closures to expect. For a handy guide, Curbed DC has posted the information below in a more easy-to-read table.
