Trump Inauguration Full Schedule: Road Closures For 45th President’s Swearing-In
With Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony just hours away, several downtown Washington D.C. area bridges have been closed. Many of the road closures went into effect at 3 a.m. EST on Thursday, and they will last until about 6 p.m. EST Friday.
The ceremonies began Thursday when Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence kicked off the festivities by laying a wreath at the Arlington National Cemetery to honor U.S. veterans. Trump and Pence will be sworn in at the Capitol Friday, Jan. 20, where they will participate in the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
The official inaugural balls that will be held the same day will feature an appearance by president and the first lady, and vice president and Mrs. Pence. On Saturday, Jan. 21, Trump and Pence will attend a national prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, which will conclude the celebration.
