MCLEAN, Va.— The George Washington Memorial Parkway North, from 495 to Spout Run, will be closed starting at 7 PM today until further notice due to anticipated severe winter weather conditions. This closure is necessary to ensure the proper treatment of the roadway and to restore the parkway to safe travel conditions. Crews will work diligently to treat the road for safe passage of drivers. Drivers should anticipate delays in reopening the northern section of the parkway as crews are required to use smaller equipment than usual to accommodate the lane widths and configurations. Please plan to use alternate routes.

A follow-up alert will be distributed once the parkway has reopened. Thank you in advance for your patience.
