Rush Hour Starts...NOW!

When the Feds close down, rush hour in D.C. begins. In order to accommodate this frozen federal exodus, Metro has has been running on its evening rush hour schedule since 1 p.m. this afternoon. This morning's problems on the Blue and Yellow Line have been resolved, so barring any further incidents, all you Metro commuters should have a smooth(ish) ride home.

No such luck for all the drivers out there. With four incidents reported on the Beltway in the last hour or so, we expect it will be a long, sloppy ride for you. Be safe!
