DC Weekend: May Day Protests, Beltway Bridge Repairs, and Ben’s Chili Bowl Reopens
May Day protests downtown triggered Friday street closures and parking restrictions, while I-495 southbound bridge repairs over Amtrak in Lanham will cause overnight lane closures through May 17. Ben’s Chili Bowl reopened after a nine-month renovation with a ribbon-cutting, and drivers should expect temporary closures on nearby streets (H Street, I Street, and 16th Street NW) this weekend.
