MCLEAN, Va. — Both northbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway will be closed between Sprout Run Parkway and Chain Bridge Road Sunday to remove an abandoned vehicle that crashed early last year.
The National Park Service (NPS) said that section of the parkway will be closed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 5 to remove an abandoned vehicle that is below the road near the Potomac River. The car left the road during a snowstorm in January of 2022. The NPS said the driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash.
The NPS will also temporarily close parts of the Potomac Heritage Trail near the vehicle for up to half an hour at a time while work is being done to remove the car.
