The entire National Mall will be closed for Inauguration Day, only accessible by media and security personnel,” the Washington Post reports.

“The extraordinary closure is the latest in a series of security measures to harden the city against the type of violence that rocked the Capitol on Jan. 6. Local and federal officials had already established a downtown security zone and called up more than 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the presidential swearing in on Jan. 20.”
