That's typical on weekdays...but certainly unusual for a Saturday.
I don't recall anything specific that day, but I do know they've been doing repainting and changing reflectors on 340 through that area.
They were doing it Wednesday (yup...the day before Thanksgiving
).
To quote a WTOP traffic reporter on the mess..."There has to be a better time".
