(Washington, D.C.) - The U.S. Secret Service is working closely with our state, local and federal law enforcement partners in planning for and conducting motorcade movements and security zones for the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit on 3/27/16 -- 4/2/16 in Washington, D.C.

Although we do not control scheduled events, we always strive to limit the impact on pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic to make street and highway closures as brief as possible. Despite our best efforts, there are occasions where we cause inconveniences to the public due to necessary security measures. When these situations occur, we do our utmost to make them the shortest duration possible.
