The District Department of Transportation emailed this afternoon to let us know that Michael Bay and company (along with their sweet, sweet money) will film Transformers 3 on location in Washington next week. Filming for the third cinematic installment of the Great Decepticon-Autobot Conflict will begin on Monday, and based on street closures and parking restrictions, the shooting will be contained on the Mall. (Looks like Bay may have gotten his wish to film a bunch of historical stuff blowing up after all.) Filming in D.C. will wrap on the 15th, so be sure to bring your camera with you if you’re near the Mall next week.

A complete list of the planned traffic and parking disruptions is after the jump.
