Much of the western part of DC is a traffic jam this morning thanks to a smoking power line at the Rock Creek Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue that closed both the Parkway, in both directions, and Pennsylvania Avenue, and impacted the Key Bridge as well.
Police and Fire are waiting for Pepco at this time to shut off the power so they can make the repairs and restore traffic flow.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
The Wisconsin Avenue 30 buses were being rerouted from M Street to K Street at 8:25ish and other traffic was being limited down M Street.
Yup. That looks about right.
