The streets of the District of Columbia will be echoing with festive tunes as the CityCenterDC Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony is set to brighten the season this Saturday. However, with the merry occasion comes the less joyful news for motorists: significant traffic disruptions and parking mayhem. The Metropolitan Police Department has announced a series of street closures and parking restrictions to accommodate the event.
According to the Washington Metropolitan Police Dept, from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the day of the event, emergency no-parking signs will be posted and enforced along 10th Street from H Street to New York Avenue, NW, and I Street from 9th Street to 10th Street, NW. Vehicles found parked in violation of these signs will find themselves ticketed and towed.
Those planning to attend the tree lighting or simply traverse the area are advised to check the latest traffic updates.
