The District of Columbia will close numerous streets near the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Thursday evening, including the north- and southbound lanes of Rock Creek Parkway from Virginia Avenue, Northwest, to Shoreham Drive, Northwest.
The National Symphony Orchestra will present a Brahms and Scriabin program this evening, an event that would not typically prompt road closures.
But the center will also also host a premiere of Melania, a documentary about Melania Trump, on Thursday evening.
The road closures come at a trying time for local motorists contending with arguably navigable thoroughfares as the District struggles to clear “snowcrete” from last weekend’s winter storm.
A spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed that Rock Creek will be closed in both directions between the aforementioned points from 3 PM to 11:30 PM.
