The Living City Washington DC

The Capital of the United States, but a surprisingly "small town" within its borders.

Last Update : January 7, 2025

Many roads in town will be closed to allow for the transport of the late President Jimmy Carter's casket. A funeral will be held at the National Cathedral on January 9. Carter passed away on December 29 at his home in Georgia at the age of 100 and he had spent the last two years in hospice care at home. Carter was the longest-lived president in U.S. history. His casket is "in repose" at the Capitol Rotunda until Thursday morning at 9 AM.

List of all the road closures plus a "live cam" tracking the movement of the casket Fox5 in DC and there's a similar page of information plus active photos of the progression at the Washington Post.
