I thought they made it shorter so the tanks would not go over the bridges... It is just in DC from 15ths to 23rd ...just 8 blocks.

Nope. 23rd St NW to 15th St NW. Nothing in VA but a wreath laying ceremony, which they do all the time without putting up fences and closing the parkway.

I don’t think those bridges can handle more than one tank at a time, if that.

I think they are worried about mass protests and thats what is driving the crazy fencing and shutdowns.

Yeah, no one is going there to protest.

I kind of wonder if they made the security plan for the longer route and then just didn't change it for the shorter route. Yes, that would be incredible incompetent and cost extra, but seems right for this admin?

Why us anything being closed on Thursday, Friday or Sunday? Why is Rock Creek and the Key Bridge closed? There are more and longer closures for this stupid 79th Birthday Party than there are for inaugurations.

Apparently this is more important than an inauguration.

TR bridge can't, nor can Memorial, but since it is already closed down, I think they are going to use it. (i just passed it commuting from DC to VA and if it's not closed down, they have the gate situated so that you have to go really slow to bypass the gate). That said,395 could survive but it's a bit too far from parade route?

My kids were flying to camp from DCA on sat. Flights canceled and that route doesn’t go from iAd. Because they’re unaccompanied minors, they can’t connect on earlier options. Seems absolutely idiotic to also have so many roads closed for multiple days for a little narcissistic parade.

Wonder if there will be a thunderstorm.

Yes. No one wants to see that North Korea / Russia sh*t.

Protests are elsewhere.

I can’t believe this is what America had come to just a few months into this wannabe fascist’s presidency.

No one will be able to get close. They have placed 10’ fencing all a long the route.

Memorial is missing a stone guard rail section in the middle of the bridge. Wonder if it structural sound.
