Residents and passersby may see fire and smoke may coming Reagan National Airport this weekend, but don’t worry — it’s just a drill.

The airport will be testing its emergency preparedness plan by simulating an airline crash with hundreds of pretend casualties, officials say. The full-scale disaster drill will be held from 9:00-11:30 a.m. on Saturday.


Traffic

Expect lane closures and heavy traffic on I-395 this weekend and at least four consecutive weekends due to a bridge rehabilitation project.

VDOT says crews will be working to “rehabilitate five bridges along I-395 between the Springfield interchange and Washington, D.C. line,” but the work will require closing at least two lanes at a time throughout the weekend, from Friday nights through Monday mornings.

Noteworthy: The Belvedere’s largest 3-bedroom floor plan with direct Monument views

Wake up to Washington’s most iconic landmarks. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sensational views of the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the Potomac River.

Spanning more than 2,060 square feet with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this residence features the largest floor plan at The Belvedere and one of the community’s most sought-after layouts.

Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the floor plan includes a formal dining area, two living spaces, and an expansive double sunroom that captures the views. The spacious kitchen opens directly to the sunroom and offers abundant cabinet storage and a pantry.

The primary suite features a walk-in closet, custom built-ins, and an en-suite bathroom. On the opposite side of the residence, a secondary bedroom with its own full bath lives much like a second primary suite, providing privacy for guests. A third bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for a home office, fitness room, or guests.

Unobstructed monument views from a three-bedroom residence are exceptionally rare. Combined with its square footage, layout, and iconic Washington backdrop, this is a home that rarely becomes available.

The Belvedere is a full-service building with an extensive amenity package including a large outdoor pool, gym, tennis/pickleball courts, 24-hour front desk, party room, convenience store, and more. Located just a short walk to the Rosslyn Metro, Target, Starbucks, and Safeway, and minutes to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Washington, D.C., the location offers unbeatable convenience.
