In collaboration with the Air Force District of Washington (AFDW), public access to the Air Force Memorial will be closed on July 4. While we recognize that it has become an annual tradition for many visitors and local community members to view the fireworks and commemorate this patriotic day from the Air Force Memorial, this is an active construction site involving multiple road closures, which poses a significant safety and security risk. Our priority is to keep our visitors safe and allow them the time needed to make alternative plans this holiday.
In addition, the only way to access Arlington National Cemetery will be via the ramp from southbound Route 110 to Memorial Avenue. The following roads in the vicinity of the cemetery will be closed (scroll down for a map):
