DC Streets Reopen as Army 250th Parade Cleanup Continues

Cleanup efforts continue in Washington, D.C. following the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade, with crews removing fencing, stands, and equipment along the National Mall and parade route. While most roads have reopened, some sections of Constitution Avenue remain closed, and officials warn that disruptions could persist throughout the week. Mayor Muriel Bowser reported no significant damage to city roads or infrastructure from the heavy military vehicles, although the Army will conduct inspections in about a month and cover any repair costs if needed. The event, which coincided with President Trump's 79th birthday, drew thousands of spectators despite concerns and some peaceful protests, with no arrests reported. Public safety agencies were praised for their performance during the national special security event. Visitors and residents are advised to stay updated on road closures as cleanup progresses.
