Other areas including the Potomac River Freeway exits to Ohio Drive and to Independence Avenue, as well as Rock Creek Parkway Drive between Virginia Avenue and Independence Avenue, also reopened.

Beyond road closures, emergency parking restrictions were also in effect. All of the closures were lifted by midnight, meaning normal -- but socially distant-- commutes are back May 4.
