This Thursday is Sept. 11, and to mark the anniversary of the event, the Pentagon Memorial will be dedicated. And there are a ton of street closures, beginning at 3 a.m. Thursday morning, that will be in place to provide security and access for the the invitation-only dedication of the Pentagon Memorial.
According to the Washington Post's Dr. Gridlock, "Police and Virginia traffic managers are advising commuters to avoid the area, especially between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Metrorail is a better option than driving through the zone. All stations will be open. The trains will be running on their regular schedule Thursday morning."
"Buses are a different story: All Metrobuses that normally serve the Pentagon Transit Center, the largest transfer station in the Metrobus system, will move to the Pentagon City Metro station from 2 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday."
Check out Dr. Gridlock's article for more on the traffic mess, along with a list of roads that will be shut down.
Like we said... telework sounds like a great option. Although not as great as sleeping in, enjoying a big pot of coffee after we wake up, maybe watching some mindless television shows or a movie for several hours followed by an afternoon nap before the kids get home from school.
Hmmmmm.... we might be on to something! Where's that leave request form?
