Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport will close on July 4 starting at noon (1600 GMT) due to 250th U.S. anniversary events in the U.S. capital region including a military flyover, according to the regional agency that manages its operations.
The airport, located in Arlington, Virginia, near downtown Washington, also will close for several hours on July 3 for rehearsals of those events, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said on Tuesday. The closures will force the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
