The National Mall will close to the public on Inauguration Day next week as local and federal officials work to secure Washington, D.C., for President-elect Joe Biden’s swearing-in after rioters were able to breach the U.S. Capitol building last week.

Officials are working to tighten security in the District, with plans to establish a downtown security zone and to deploy more than 20,000 National Guard members to protect the event on January 20.
