I have read that the memorial benches area was closed beginning on Sept 16, 2019 for lighting repair until May 29, 2020. The Memorial Gateway remains open until November 16, 2019.

Is it possible to walk to the Memorial from the Arlington Cemetery?
A:
Yes, but it's not well-marked. There is a sidewalk from behind the Cemetery's service complex (southeast corner of the Cemetery) that goes along Columbia Pike and then under …
Yes, but it's not well-marked. There is a sidewalk from behind the Cemetery's service complex (southeast corner of the Cemetery) that goes along Columbia Pike and then under Washington Blvd into the entrance area for the Pentagon Memorial. It's along busy roads, so be careful.
