NEW: They're back. #TruckersConvoy2022 just crossing the 14th St. Bridge into DC.

Thank you
@STATter911
. This is one of several convoys out right now. There's another group on DC-295 north and on the Inner Loop near the American Legion Bridge

NEW: They're back. #TruckersConvoy2022 just crossing the 14th St. Bridge into DC. @DCPoliceDept has same exits blocked. So far, a significantly smaller convoy than yesterday. @WTOPtraffic @WTOP @hhowardWTOP @ARLnowDOTcom #Truckers #TruckersConvoy #traffic #vatraffic #395cam



This small convoy went through quickly on I-395N. Traffic issues are minimal. As
@WTOPtraffic
reports there are multiple groups on the areahighways at the moment.

Some have designated replacements who show up on their weekends off and swap out with someone else. That would maintain a set number for events if they are organized enough.

This will end up being a running grievance that they weren't welcomed with open arms upon their arrival.

Yes. It was a small group. Went through quickly. Got jammed on the SW Freeway for a bit. Now there's a crash blocking the center of road on I-395N on the Case Bridge just before the 12th Street exit.

I can confirm the weather. I have clothes on the line.

On the flip side, March 15th decided to bring us some top notch beautiful weather. May we all get to enjoy it soon.
