Veterans Day is Tuesday, and with it comes a massive concert—The Concert for Valor—on the National Mall courtesy of HBO and Starbucks. The Boss will be there. So will Eminem. And Rihanna. And Dave Grohl. And a lot more famous people. Predictably, the area around the Mall will be a commuting nightmare, as there are going to be a number of road closures. Here’s a list of all of them via the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Park Service:
- Constitution Avenue NW from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to 18th Street NW.
- Madison Drive NW from 3rd Street NW to 15th Street NW.
- Jefferson Drive SW from 3rd Street SW to 15th Street SW.
- Independence Avenue SW from 3rd Street SW to 17th Street SW.
- Maryland Avenue SW from Independence Avenue SW to 7th Street SW.
- 3rd Street from Constitution Avenue NW to C Street SW.
- 4th Street from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to C Street SW.
- 6th Street NW from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to Constitution Avenue NW.
- 6th Street SW from Independence Avenue SW to C Street SW.
- 7th Street from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to C Street SW.
- 10th Street from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to Independence Avenue SW.

- 14th Street from E Street NW to C Street SW.
- 15th Street from E Street NW to Maine Avenue SW.

Additional closures will be in place in advance of the concert to allow for setup of the venue. These include:

- Madison Drive NW from 3rd Street NW to 4th Street NW will be closed from 6 a.m. on November 10 through 10 a.m. on November 12.
Meanwhile, Metro will be operating on a special schedule, with the Blue Line turning Yellow for the day. More info on that is here.
The above map, but bigger and in greater detail is below. Plan accordingly, or just stay home, hang out, and watch it on your friend’s HBOGO account the next day.
