395-N will be closed briefly between 1:00 and 1:30 this afternoon for the funeral procession for MPD officer Paul Dittamo, who died last week when his cruiser struck a utility pole while he was responding to a call.
While the funeral and burial are both in Virginia, the processional will drive into the DC to pass by the 7th district station, where Dittamo was based.
