DC Streets Prepare for Historic Military Parade

Preparations are underway for a large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The event, anticipated to draw significant crowds, involves the deployment of various military vehicles, including M1 Abrams tanks and M2 Bradley armored personnel carriers. To mitigate potential road damage from these heavy vehicles, the Army Corps of Engineers has begun installing metal plates along the parade route. "The work is underway," confirmed a spokesperson in the video, adding that the process will continue for the next week. "The first two plates went down last night," they stated, noting that road closures and lane closures are expected during this time. Despite the temporary disruptions, officials assure residents that things should return to normal by Monday morning. The parade itself promises a spectacular display of military might and a fitting tribute to the Army's rich history.
