America’s 9/11 Foundation Motorcycle Ride to Pass Through Leesburg on Friday, August 21
The event will be broadcast live on the Town’s Facebook page.
The ride, which will begin in Somerset, PA, and stop at the Pentagon before ending at the World Trade Center site, honors the memory of those who lost their lives in the attacks on September 11, 2001.
The parade of motorcycles is expected to enter Leesburg heading south on Business Route 15 around 1:45 p.m. and will travel down King Street through the historic downtown. The motorcycles will proceed from South King Street to the Route 7/15 Bypass and onto the Dulles Greenway.
The time the riders will enter Leesburg is approximate, based on traffic, road construction, and weather. King Street will be closed to traffic as the motorcycles pass through town. All King Street intersections will be closed to east-west pedestrian and vehicular cross traffic. The road closures are expected to last 30 to 45 minutes until the motorcycles are clear of town.
Anyone wishing to support the riders as they pass through Leesburg, are encouraged to arrive no later than 1 p.m. Guests are encouraged to use the Pennington Garage and Lot (210 Church Street NE), Town Hall Garage (10 Loudoun Street SW), Liberty Lot (204 Liberty Street SW), or Loudoun County Garage (1 Harrison Street SE).
For everyone's safety, please use designated crosswalks when traveling to and from the event and watch for pedestrians in the downtown area. Spectators are asked not to hand anything to the motorcycle riders or passengers, for safety reasons.
The event will be broadcasted live on the Town’s Facebook page. For more information, visit www.americas911ride.org.
