And our big story for traffic right now happens to be on the George Washington Parkway. They have work set up for long term on the Parkway. As you may know, between Windy Run or the Spout Run Parkway, all the way through the Beltway in both directions, off peak, it's a only single lane that gets by. Well, northbound, a crash occurred in the pylons at the beginning of that work zone and all traffic was in the process of being turned around northbound to divert to the Spout the Spout Run Parkway. So bottom line, if you're heading on to the George Washington Parkway, all traffic may be very diverted well to the Spout Run Parkway following police direction across the Al Row -Clare Barton Parkway. I currently have nothing reported there. The other big story in Virginia is on 766, which is at speed from Roslyn through Front Royal, but if you're heading west to take the ramps for 50 Fairfax to go west, those ramps are blocked both the main and the express lanes. You can access the eastbound ramp. Keep that in mind for the turnaround if you're trying to get to Fair Oaks. 95 in Virginia running south, we've got pockets of volume in Stafford where an earlier crash cleared, so riding between the Porthouse Road and Centerport Parkway a little sluggish, but your travel lanes are reported to be open. On the Maryland side, big roads doing okay, nothing currently reported around the Beltway. 270 rides well, nothing on 95 to Beltway and 2 are from the Eastern Shore, also doing well. We have on Metro The orange, blue and silver line trains are single tracking between Foggy Bottom, Clarenton, Arlington Cemetery. This is due to fire department activity in Roslyn. They say expect extended delays. The Hot 7 scratch off from the Maryland Lottery is coming in hot. Choose from 6 different scratch offs with top prizes from $1 ,000 to $1 ,000 ,000.
