“Best routes to DCA during road closures?”

“Dear PoPville,

I am wondering if I could get some input from the community about alternative routes to DCA from the Dupont area during the upcoming military parade.

I have a business trip early Monday morning (6/16). My flight is at 6am and I see the road closures are in place until 6am on 6/16. Both routes I am aware of from the dupont area to DCA appear to be closed (Arlington Memorial Bridge and 14th St/I-395).

I will be taking an uber. I don’t have a car. And the metro doesn’t open until 5am.

Does anyone have ideas for alternative routes/options? Other than changing my flight, which comes with its own challenges.”
