WASHINGTON — Watch for icy conditions as you head out Thursday morning.
WTOP Traffic Reporter Jack Taylor says many area roads are experiencing icy conditions, so drivers should use caution on the morning commute.
In D.C.’s Interstate 295, southbound lanes on the left side after I-695/11th Street Bridge are blocked by the icy conditions.
On I-395 the northbound ramp to I-395 Express also has some icy patches.
On southbound George Washington Parkway before the Memorial Bridge, the right side is blocked by the icy conditions as well.
