Sinkhole Forces Inner Loop Lane Closures

Emergency repairs on the inner loop of the Capital Beltway are expected to extend into the afternoon rush hour, according to officials of the Woodrow Wilson bridge project.

A two-foot-square sinkhole, located near the Route 1 interchange, forced the closure of two lanes.

Crews shut down the far left lane on the Maryland side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. The second left lane is also closed near the Virginia shoreline. The inner loop lane closures extend past the Route 1 interchange.
