Narrative:
While a controller was vectoring an air carrier aircraft to aby with marginal VFR conditions and the aby ILS OTS, the ashburn lrr was taken down for maintenance without notification to the controller working the aircraft/sector affected. This is unacceptable and poses a potential safety hazard.
