What I understand from the press releases from DDOT and the Secret Service is that at 3 p.m. on the 19th, the security perimeter is closed off to all vehicles unless you have credentials that no one but Obama will have. No trucks or cars or any vehicles at all.
Everything outside of the perimeter is fine, trucks included. And I-395, I-66, and the GW parkway from 495 to National Airport are shut down to all vehicular traffic on the 20th EXCEPT tour buses, taxicabs, and limosines for hire.
So you can still travel from VA to DC, you just can't do it in your personal car.
I like that if for some insane reason I needed to get to our shop after 3 p.m. on the 19th, I can't get back home unless I come in via Rt. 7 or Rt. 50.

Can I forward that last 2 paragraphs to Sean? He'd get a kick out of it!
