Tonight President Barack Obama will deliver his third State of the Union address, and as usual plenty of roads around the U.S. Capitol will be closed off to traffic as of 7 p.m. and remain blocked until after Obama finishes his 9 p.m. address.

- C Street NE between 2nd Street NE and Louisiana Avenue, NW
- Constitution Avenue between 2nd Street NE and Louisiana Avenue NW
- Delaware Avenue between Columbus Circle and Constitution Avenue NE
