If you are trying to come into D.C. from Virginia via 395/695 expect SIGNIFICANT delays.

Check the camera at I-70 at Mount Phillip Rd. at the tab labeled "Cameras By Route from I-70 at PA Line to I-695 at I-70." The convoy has made it that far at 11:45 a.m.

Try this one. I-70 runs through Maryland from north of Hancock to Baltimore. It's the Interstate that the truckers would take were they to head east from Hagerstown toward Frederick, which is on the way to DC. At Frederick, I-270 splits off from I-70. I-70 heads east to Baltimore, and I-270 heads southeast to DC.
Cameras By Route from I-70 at PA Line to I-695 at I-70
I-70 East at South Mountain is a good choice
Cameras By Route from I-270 at I-70 to I-270 at I-495. This is the big enchilada. Any camera on that stretch will work.

They sent a vehicle recon to see how close they could get to our Capitol. S GW, inbound Roosevelt, onto Constitution Ave

This next tweet refers to the vehicle sent to scope out the streets. There is no report that the White House is being circled by trucks.
We stand corrected, they're circling the White House.

Truck drivers with the so-called Peoples Convoy boxed in a white Tesla on Saturday afternoon, sparking a clash with fellow truckers. A lead convoy participant, who goes by the alias Sasnak on YouTube, captured a video of truckers boxing in the car near the Frederick, Maryland area after the freeway driver in question allegedly brake-checked convoy-goers. A Tesla pulled in...slammed the brakes on real hard and caused a brake-check, the YouTuber claimed, while saying his fellow trucker then encircled the Tesla driver and boxed in the car. Sasnak said that upon police arriving, they let the white Tesla go on its waybut he wasnt ready to let the incident go. Thats illegal. You cant do that. You cant block somebody in like that, he continued, ripping into the actions of his fellow truckers. Thats considered abduction. The person in the car has the right to go bang bang and shoot you! Sasnak said his fellow truckerswho have been triggered by drivers giving them the middle fingershould have conducted a citizens arrest on the Tesla motorist who allegedly brake-checked the convoy participants. Reached for comment by The Daily Beast, a Maryland State Police official stated Saturday evening that no abduction occurred on the highway while noting that abduction and boxing a car in and road rage are two different things.

This morning the trucker convoy entrapped a tesla driver, supposedly to make a citizen's arrest.
