Big mess mostly on the West End but these things tent to spill all over town.  No getting into CityZen next week I guess.  

 
An international gathering is going to close streets, restrict parking, detour buses and generally add to commuting difficulties on the west side of the District next week.

The centers of activity during the U.S.–Africa Leaders Summit will be in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, around the White House and in Southwest Washington north of Maine Avenue and east of the Tidal Basin. Key events will be held at the National Academy of Sciences, the World Bank, the White House and the Mandarin Oriental hotel.
