The UFC fight at the White House on Sunday, which also is President Donald Trump’s birthday, will bring extensive road closures and parking restrictions in downtown Washington, D.C.

Police are going to start locking things down beginning Thursday.

Expect mass road closures and parking restrictions through Monday evening.

Arlington Memorial Bridge will close from 6 p.m. until midnight Friday. Other major roads affected include parts of Constitution Avenue, the 12th Street Expressway/Tunnel, the Potomac River Freeway, certain eastbound I-66 exits and streets along the east and west sides of Farragut Square.

Thursday and Friday might be tough for commuters working near the White House or Lincoln Memorial; all of those areas will be affected.

If you're traveling downtown, take Metro to avoid gridlock.
