The restrictions are concentrated around the White House and parts of the National Mall on January 5 and 6.
Ahead of a series of rallies and protests in DC next week that President Donald Trump has promised will be “wild,” authorities have released a list of extensive street closures downtown.
The restrictions are concentrated around the White House and parts of the National Mall on January 5 and 6.
“The decision to restrict vehicles will be based on public safety and, if it is safe to do so, the vehicles will be allowed to enter the restricted area if they are on essential business or traveling to and from their residence,” DC police said. in a press release.
Below is a map of the street closures.
The protests are scheduled for January 6, the date that Congress meets to formally count electoral votes for the November presidential election, and where lawmakers will affirm the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump has continued to push for unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud, and on Twitter he has encouraged supporters to pack DC for protests. “Be there, it will be wild,” he tweeted on December 19.
Most recently, on December 30, Trump tweeted in capital letters: “JANUARY SIX, SEE YOU IN DC!”
Last month, protests drew thousands of Trump supporters to DC, including members of the far-right Proud Boys, who clashed with counter-protesters. Four people were stabbed, 33 people were arrested and four downtown churches, including two historically black churches, were vandalized.
There are also extensive no parking restrictions next week.
