Street Closures for Tomorrow's Marine Corps Marathon


View Marine Corps Marathon Closures in a larger map


Plenty of area residents will be enjoying some absolutely fantastic weather for tomorrow's Marine Corps Marathon, whether they are running, cheering, or just catching a peek while they wander around town.

But will local drivers enjoy the road closures which the Marathon will inflict? Uh, probably not. Obviously, race organizers are asking people to take public transportation to the race, and Metro is opening tomorrow at 5 a.m. The race will also cause the rerouting of 24 bus routes in Virginia and D.C.

The map above should give you a rough idea of the local road disruptions in the District, which are scheduled to be in effect between 4 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, but the folks in charge of the Marathon have also supplied us with the lengthy text list of the roads affected and the approximate times which they will be closed -- you can find that after the jump. (There's a lot.) Just don't expect to be able to get across the Potomac through the city with any sort of relative ease.

Uhh, there is a penis pointing to Congress.

nothing like a long text list to help you understand something that's clearly better in geographic form.

thanks for the map!

And none of the closures are in Arlington, I see?

Thanks! I had to help navigate a friend of mine who got stuck over in DC this morning, trying to get jenseits des Flusses, and this helped immensely.

Many thanks to the incompetent, apathetic slugs at MPD for publishing this detailed list of closures, and then -- without announcement -- closing a whole bunch of additional streets, too.

Closing Pennsylvania Avenue westbound at 25th street NW? Not on the published list, but they sure as heck closed it.

Ditto for 23rd Street NW southbound at E Street.

So, for those of us who carefully planned routes based on the published street closings: shame on us for assuming that the MPD would actually follow the announced road closing plan, rather than just make something up. A nice reminder (as if any were necessary) that we are in a near-Third-World ad-hocracy, not some clockwork-precise Zurich-like First World city.
