Washington, DC, will host international leaders next week for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit, setting off a number of disruptions and restrictions downtown. Among them are closed train stations, detoured buses, and checkpoints erected to identify and potentially search people entering the summit’s security perimeter, including those who live or work in the area. Traffic is expected to pile up, and the closures may change as the summit progresses.
“Let me put it simply. Next week is not going to be a regular week in DC,” DC Police Chief Pamela A. Smith said at a Monday. Smith also noted that MPD expects protests and supports “individuals peacefully expressing their First Amendment rights,” but “will not tolerate violence of any kind.”. DC and federal officials also set up a real-time text line for alerts about the summit, which can be accessed by texting “NATODC” to 888-777.
From 8:00 PM on Monday, July 8 until 5:00 AM on Friday, July 10, several buses will take altered routes. The affected routes are the 3F, 3Y, 11Y, 16E,16Y, 32, 33, 36, 52, 59, 63, 64, 70, 74, 79, D4, D6, G2, G8, P6, S2, X2, and the Red Line Shuttle.
