]]> Besides normal heavy Labor Day holiday weekend traffic in and around Washington, DC, there’s a couple major issues to plan around this Labor Day weekend.

Reagan Airport and the Metro subway in Washingotn, DC

 

If your travels take you to Reagan National Airport , expect a 30+ minute delays on Metro’s Blue and Yellow line subway trains this weekend. Metro is replacing tracks south of Reagan National and riders arriving from the south or heading towards Alexandria , Virginia , will be shuttled by bus around the effected area.

The Bay Bridge crossing the Chesapeake in Maryland

And if your plans take you to a final summer weekend at the beach, your fun in the sun time may be cut down a bit, due to construction and resulting congestion on the Bay Bridge near Annapolis , Maryland . The work is being done to repair some damage from the major truck accident on the bridge earlier this month. The deadly accident caused traffic to be snarled for miles. One lane of traffic on one of the two spans will be closed for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
