The Ceremonial loop is located on W. Basin Drive, SW, which is perpendicular to Ohio Dr., SW. Ohio runs parallel to the Potomac River. The site can be accessed via Maine Ave via I-395 South (the 14th Street Bridge exit) or Potomac Park via I-395 N., the Memorial Bridge, Ohio Blvd., Rock Creek Parkway, or I-66. Once in the area, follow signs leading to parking. The greatest abundance of parking is located near the I-395 overpass across the Potomac River. The FDR Memorial is also Metro accessible.
