GETTING AROUND THE GRAND PRIX: Road closures ramp up ahead of race weekend

Road closures and travel restrictions are ramping up in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. Several dozen closures are already in place around the race track, and 44 additional closures are planned for Tuesday and Friday, with most taking effect on Friday. Parking and other travel limits will also expand. Freedom 250 Grand Prix Chairman Bud Denker urged weekend visitors to use Metro because there is effectively no parking, and rideshare drop-offs like Lyft or Uber leave attendees about four or five blocks away. Changes may also affect air travel at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), with Friday delays possible for midday flights.
