ROCKVILLE, Md. — All lanes of Interstate 270 have reopened following a temporary shutdown due to police activity Wednesday.
Northbound lanes of Interstate 270 were shut down at Falls Road in Rockville for police activity just after 11:15 a.m. Police have not said what exactly closed the lanes. The northbound ramp to I-270 was also closed.
According to MATOC, traffic was diverted to express lanes during the shutdown.
Drivers in the area were told to expect delays and follow police directions.
As of 4 p.m., all lanes of traffic have reopened.
New video of a crash that sent two people to the hospital shows the moment an officer narrowly avoided being hit head-on by a speeding teen driver. Fairfax County Police released the video Tuesday in hopes of deterring speeders. Dashcam footage of the close call shows a speeding driver spin out of control, and swerve into the opposite lane, nearly striking an officer who was out of his car talking to a driver he had pulled over.
