National Mall to close sections for turf rehab through January 2027
Parts of the National Mall between 3rd and 14th Streets will be closed for about five months to repair turf damaged by recent events, with closures lasting through Jan. 24, 2027; some non-grass areas remain open, and officials say heavy foot traffic could slow the recovery. Separately, a federal panel will review Trump’s Lafayette Park fence plans and an underground White House visitor screening center, with votes not expected at this meeting.
