Barricades Erected in Washington Ahead of Joe Biden Inauguration

Security measures were bolstered in Washington with the erection of barricades around the US Capitol on January 14, ahead of Inauguration Day.

This footage shows fences and barriers near the White House on Thursday. It follows the events of January 6, when Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol.

In addition to physical barriers, National Guard troops will also be on watch for the event. Reports said up to 20,000 troops were expected to serve as security for President-elect Joe Biden’s swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday. Credit: @gjergjdollani via Storyful
