Connecticut Avenue

But at least right now, no major issues.

About 20 minutes ago, we cleared a wreck on the Capitol Beltway on the outer loop at Connecticut Avenue.

So that started with a little bit of a buildup there from New Hampshire Avenue.

But the lanes are back open again.

Then again, right at the ramp at I-95 and 495, that's now off to the shoulder.

Now, a new problem, outer loop at Connecticut Avenue with the right lane blocked and a delay going back again towards New Hampshire Avenue.

That's a long delay around to the Mormon temple.

It's not too early to think about getting your vehicle ready for fall and winter driving.

That moved to the shoulder.

Southbound traffic was looking at that.

And then the late wreck now is on the outer loop near Connecticut Avenue, and that's blocking the right lane, slowing all the way back through New Hampshire Avenue again and back over towards 95.

So that's going to be the big problem right now in Montgomery County.

The update now, here's, uh, the king of all traffic, Chuck Whitaker.

And yet another accident, Capital Beltway, Montgomery County this time, inner loop at Connecticut Avenue, that's backed up back to the spur at I 270.

Traffic coming around from the American Legion Bridge and then heading east on the Capital Beltway towards Route 29.

That delay is there.

When she's there, she walks through Lafayette Square to look at the historic buildings and at the way L'Enfant's plan put the president's house on an axis with 16th Street.

And she also sees it from the south side, driving along Connecticut Avenue or walking in the area.

That's a lot of detail about a walk.

Yes, it is.

One

of the issues on Connecticut Avenue, where there's many apartment buildings, once some luxury, is that tenants there say that the city's homeless housing program works to their disadvantage because the landlords, don't want people paying market rate rent because they can get the city to pay even more to put homeless people in the buildings.

And that destroys the... value of living there.

It seems to me like

There's a new minor wreck on the Capitol Beltway.

It's on the outer loop of Connecticut Avenue.

It's going to back us up towards New Hampshire Avenue.

So it looks like it may be to the shoulder already, but very quickly we'll get a delay back through there.

So if you're taking 95 south, going up the hill towards the outer loop.

and eventually around to Connecticut Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue through there.

That's the reason for the backup.

Still have not had any official word as to what's going on on 295 northbound.

Suddenly she caught Maynard's eye, and his cheery smile gave her a sense of comfort.

As the car turned into Connecticut Avenue, he leaned forward and addressed Marian Van Ness.

"Are you warm enough?" he asked solicitously.

"You have no extra wrap, and the night air is chilly." Marian looked at him, then glanced away.

The Ace Marian Van Ness detached herself from the stream of people moving slowly up Seventeenth Street and raced to the opposite curb, only arriving in time, however, to see the Mount Pleasant car sail serenely by.

A second, third, and fourth car, their passengers clinging like ants to steps and even fenders, rounded the curve without stopping and continued up Connecticut Avenue.

In despair, Marian turned about and, tucking the papers she carried more securely under her arm, set out for the Burnham house.
