Thank you

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

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.
