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!
