Northern Virginia Open Dec. 31, Some Closing Early

Northern Virginia — Post Offices will be open Dec. 31, but some will shorten lobby hours New Year’s Eve. Regular mail delivery for Dec. 31 will be unaffected by the change.

Many businesses close early New Year’s Eve, and the number of customers visiting Post Office lobbies greatly diminishes. As such, all Post Offices will close retail operations early Dec. 31 at 12:00 noon with the exception of the following offices:

Alexandria Main Office 1100 Wythe Street Alexandria VA 22313 Closes at 5:00 pm	Chantilly Branch 410 Brookfield Corp Dr. Chantilly VA 20151 Closes at 5:00 pm	Merrifield Post Office 8409 Lee Highway Merrifield VA 22116 Closes at 5:00 pm	Winchester Main Office 340 N. Pleasant Valley Rd Winchester VA 22601 Closes at 5:00 pm
Fredericksburg M.O. 600 Princess Anne St. Fredericksburg VA 22401 Closes at 5:00 pm	Falmouth Branch 16 Lichfield Blvd. Fredericksburg VA 22406 Closes at 5:00 pm	Mall Station 420 Spotsylvania Mall Fredericksburg VA 22407 Closes at 2:30 pm	College Station 1285 Jeff. Davis Hwy. Fredericksburg VA 22401 Closes at 2:30 pm

Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office. To obtain the phone number of a specific Post Office, customers may call 1-800-ASK-USPS. Commercial customers are asked to check with their Bulk Mail Acceptance Unit for Dec. 31 hours of operation.

Post Offices will be closed Jan. 1. Express Mail will be delivered New Year’s Day and regular mail delivery will resume Jan. 2.
