This 25th of july. Good saturday morning to you. We are going to start off with chucks homework. Another hot day, but humidity not as bad, right . Thats right. Pencils down. Beautiful weather on tap.

Straight spots of the beltway. Its going ton throughout the weekend. Alternating lane closures on the inner and outer loop. We actually had three lanes closed. That was over at 7 00 this morning. What you are going to see are one and two lane closures as you go through this area. Youll start to see back ups around central avenue, at least in one direction and probably ritchie marlboro in the other. This is whats happening because of concrete repairs going on on the beltway. Not a lot of concrete here, but overpasses. This is a heavily traveled area. This is a heavily stressed section of the beltway. You might see how light traffic seems these days. A lot of people on vacation and school is out. Thats when the crews take the opportunity to do much needed repairs. It may cause hardship now, but youll thank them in september on your daily commute. Derrick ward news 4. Thanks. New this morning, one man died following a shooting in the district. It happened not far from alabama avenue south
