A Marvel movie appears to be filming in D.C. this week, but these heroes won’t save you from problems on the road prompted by the Hollywood production.
Road closures and parking restrictions are in place downtown now through Thursday morning, according to D.C. police. Many of the affected roadways are near the White House.
Though it hasn’t been confirmed by the studio, multiple sources have guessed that the movie being filmed is the latest addition to the Captain America franchise.
A director in the mayor’s office, Latoya Foster, mentioned that the movie would be filming when discussing upcoming entertainment productions at a meeting in March.
“We have Marvel coming to Washington, D.C.,” said Foster. “I can’t give you too much about that but let me tell you we’re going to have a huge Marvel film taking place right in downtown that you won’t want to miss out on.”
Where are the closures?
You won’t be able to park on these streets from Monday at noon through Friday at 7 p.m.:
- 15th Street from G Street to Constitution Avenue, NW
- F Street from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
- Upper Pennsylvania Avenue from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
- Lower Pennsylvania Avenue from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
These streets will be closed from Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. through Wednesday at 6 a.m. The roads reopen during the day Wednesday before closing down again in the evening at 6:30 p.m. and staying shut down through Thursday at 6 a.m.:
- 15th Street from G Street to Constitution Avenue, NW
- F Street from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
- Upper Pennsylvania Avenue from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
- Lower Pennsylvania Avenue from 14th Street to 15th Street, NW
It’s not the first time a superhero movie has stunted D.C. traffic. What was believed to be filming for Wonder Woman’s sequel prompted closures in Georgetown in 2018.
