Buddhist Monks' 'Walk for Peace to DC' Causes Road Closures in Northern Virginia
Buddhist monks are undertaking a 'Walk for Peace to D.C.', a 120-day, 2,300-mile journey that is causing rolling road closures in Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax counties in Virginia. The procession, which resumed on Monday, involves temporary road closures to ensure the safety of pedestrians and the monks as they pass through these areas. In Alexandria, streets such as Cameron Street and Columbus Street will experience closures from approximately 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. In Arlington, the monks will travel along a route that includes Crystal Drive, Army Navy Drive, and North Glebe Road, ending at Marymount University where brief welcoming remarks will be made. Fairfax County police are also involved in assisting the procession as it moves through the county.
