I realize not everyone is out that way, but traffic is REALLY bad today.

Dulles toll road was backed up because it couldn't exit 495 - all lanes are pretty much stopped or rolling REALLY slow and it's bumper to bumper all the way across the American Legion through 270 - just south of the Montrose exit.

That's a lot of cars getting a very scenic tour of MD/VA.. so if you have something planned - check WTOP's traffic cams before leaving or find another route...

 

 

When it shows black and red on google maps that's never good. Good luck to anyone headed that way.

 

last day of school?

I had to go to DC twice today. lots of tourists everywhere

 

Yep, I try to take the MARC train as much as I can, as long as there's a Metro stop within about 5 blocks from the location I'm going to. If I can't help it, then I drive and I always check WTOP (103.5) for traffic - updates every 10min on the 8's.

the toll road is backed up everyday and the outer loop going into VA is usually backed up but I haven't seen black/red in awhile, it's usually just red.

 

Metro FTMFW

 

yeah. i drive that route most of the time.. and it's normally bad- on the inner loop..

but the outerloop isn't usually parked like it was when i drove by today.
