Road Closures and Parking Restrictions for Caps' Victory Parade

Thousands of fans will line the streets of the nation's capital on Tuesday to celebrate D.C.'s own Stanley Cup Champions: The Washington Capitals.

A victory parade will run down Constitution Avenue from 23rd to 7th streets NW, with optimal viewing between 17th and 7th. The parade will then turn right and end with an ALLCAPS rally at 7th and the National Mall, Monumental Sports, the group that owns the team, announced Friday.

Like with any major event in D.C., there will be a lot of road closures and parking restrictions that could affect your commute whether you're going to the parade or just trying to get around.
