Flooding causes road closures, stalls traffic in DC area


Many rivers and streams are continuing to experience flooding, which is leading to a lot of traffic headaches.
The biggest traffic headache is in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, where Md. 198 is closed between Bald Eagle Drive and Airfield Road is closed due to the roadway being washed away from flooding.
Engineers will inspect the bridge with the hopes of fixing the roadway, but crews expect it could be weeks before the road is repaired.
In Virginia, Stafford County Public Schools announced it is closed on Monday, June 4, due to impassable roads.
White’s Ferry, which carries passengers from Loudoun County to Montgomery County, is closed Monday because of the flooding of the Potomac River.
