Tuesday, 10:37 a.m.: Occupy the Highway, a tiny, mobile offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement, is set to finish its two-week sojourn from New York’s Zuccotti Park to the District within the next hour.

With 230 miles under their belts, the group of about 50 marchers were aiming to arrive the day before a congressional “supercommittee” was supposed to vote on a bipartisan debt compromise. Unfortunately, the supercommittee officially announced its failure to reach compromise a day before protesters arrived.

The Post’s Tim Craig is waiting for the marchers to arrive at the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro station, where they’ll continue their march to give a news conference at Occupy DC’s McPherson Square headquarters. A news release from the group indicates that it will temporarily occupy an area near the reflecting pool on the National Mall.
