FYI They don't close the Colonial Parkway, just the turn offs and for some


odd reason the entrance that goes past the Victory Center. You could still get on from the Rte 17 entrance, and all other entrances. Completely pointless and money spent putting up barriers for the sole purpose of pissing off/annoying voters about the shutdown. (not unlike closing Parks, Monuments, etc.) I don't believe they can actually legally shut down the Parkway itself.

But as a bonus, it is the one time you can safely speed on the Parkway without the risk of getting one of their onerous and expensive Fed speeding tickets! :-)
