The GW Parkway is closing early Sunday morning due to expected snow.
The National Park Service announced Saturday night that the Parkway would close between Spout Run in Arlington and the Beltway, starting at 6 a.m. A reopening time has not yet been established.
More, below, from an NPS press release.
The George Washington Memorial Parkway North, from 495 to Spout Run, will be closed starting at 6 a.m. tomorrow (January 19) until further notice due to the forecasted severe winter weather in the area. This closure is necessary to ensure the proper treatment of the roadway and to restore the parkway to safe travel conditions. Crews will work diligently to treat the road for safe passage of drivers. Drivers should anticipate delays in reopening the northern section of the parkway as crews are required to use smaller equipment than usual to accommodate the lane widths and configurations. Please plan to use alternate routes.
A follow-up alert will be distributed once the parkway has reopened. Thank you in advance for your patience.
Arlington and much of the region is under a Winter Weather Advisory starting at 7 a.m. Sunday, with 2-4 inches of snow expected during the day.
