Does anyone know if there will be any closures affecting the Pentagon South Parking Lot and the southbound HOV access late in the afternoon? I usually come from Ballston area via Washington Blvd and do the suicide manouver to cross three lanes of traffic to enter the South Lot for slugs/HOV access.

I am trying to plan my departure time to avoid closings. I do have the hybrid today but will consider swinging by the slug line if there's a need for drivers.

My private sector employer has decided to be open on Friday. Does anyone have a sense of whether there will be problems getting to points in Arlington on Fri.?

I don't have any direct knowledge; however, I have been in contact with MPD and the Capitol Police and they indicate the immediate vicinity of Constitution Avenue from the Capitol to just east of 23rd Street is ground zero. I would think the portions of Arlington, Rossyln and the Pentagon would not be effected by an unusual amount of traffic, but you never know around here.

I was wondering about this too. I slug from Pentagon to Potomac Mills. I'm wondering if people are going to be leaving early to avoid the traffic situation. I wonder if it's worth going to Pentagon to slug home, or if it's a better bet to ride all the way to Franc/Springfield metro and take advantage of the free OmniRide buses...

From this driver, I still plan to pick up at the Pentagon this afternoon for 234. I hope not all the sluggers plan to take the bus!!
