Due to winter weather impacts, multiple park areas and facilities managed by the George Washington Memorial Parkway will remain closed Wednesday, January 28, 2026 to ensure visitor safety and allow crews to address hazardous conditions, including snow and ice.

The main parkway road has remained open, thanks to our hard working crews. There are still hazardous conditions and roads may refreeze overnight. Though some areas are accessible by pedestrians, please maintain caution due to safety concerns.

The following sites and areas are planned to remain closed through clean-up:

• Clara Barton National Historic Site

• Turkey Run Park and South Turkey Run Area

• Theodore Roosevelt Island and parking lot

• Arlington Ridge, including the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial and the Netherlands Carillon

• Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial and associated facilities

• Columbia Island (Marina partially accessible)

• Dangerfield Island (Marina partially accessible)

• Jones Point Park parking lot and restroom

• Belle Haven Marina, Belle Haven Park, and Dyke Marsh

• All pullouts, overlooks, and parking lots along the parkways

Emergency personnel prioritized emergency access, main roadways, and high-use corridors, including the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Spout Run Parkway, Clara Barton Parkway, Memorial Avenue and Circle, Arlington Memorial Bridge, and secondary roads and residential streets within the park's jurisdiction. Crews will continue snow and ice removal, coordinating closely with partner agencies and emergency personnel.

Areas will reopen as soon as conditions are safe. For the latest updates, visitors should check www.nps.gov/gwmp and GWMP social media channels. Next update expected: Wednesday, January 28.
