Road closures announced for 'March for Israel' on Tuesday

Portions of streets near the National Mall will be closed to traffic this week due to a rally expected to bring tens of thousands to D.C.

WASHINGTON — The District announced a list of road closures and parking restrictions Sunday evening that will affect traffic around downtown and the National Mall ahead of a pro-Israel rally scheduled for Tuesday.

The "March for Israel" is organized by the Jewish Federations of North America. The organization expects to draw 40,000-60,000 participants on Tuesday to show solidarity and support for Israel and the Israeli people. Jewish Federations president and CEO Eric Fingerhut said the rally will have a particular focus on the more than 200 hostages still being held by Hamas since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The rally was scheduled to be held on the National Mall from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday. Gates for the event are set to open at 10 a.m., with a pre-event program at 11:30 a.m.

On Sunday, the District warned drivers to expect parking restrictions and road closures near the National Mall — with some beginning Monday evening and lasting until Wednesday morning.
