Memorial services on September 11 will cause multiple road closures in Arlington County on Sunday. The number of officials and dignitaries that will pay their respect at the Pentagon to those who died when American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the building caused the Secret Service to request the closures.
Virginia State Police and Arlington County Police advise that traffic on surrounding roadways will likely be affected, and motorists without business in the area should stay clear. More closures may be added on Sunday.
