The Technonaut

These days in the DC area, a lot of people are talking about the upcoming Inauguration, and just how bad the traffic is going to be.  Some predictions I’ve heard from Virginia State transportation officials have said that traffic will be backed-up all the way to Richmond.  To make matters worse, there are a ton of road closures and other restrictions that have just been announced in the past week.  Most of the information I’ve seen about these closures has come in the form of long lists of streets, which are hard enough to wrap your head around when you’re a DC native – I can’t imagine how hard it is for the out-of-towners who are going to be driving in for the inauguration.  To try to make things a little easier to navigate, I’ve thrown together some interactive maps of the road closures and access routes.  Hopefully it’s easier to understand than a bulleted list of 100 streets.
