Metrobus routes impacted by Capitol-area street closures

Eight Metrobus routes are being affected by the newly implemented around-the-clock street closures and searches that are being conducted at security checkpoints located on Constitution, Independence, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Avenues on Capitol Hill. The affected Metrobus routes are 30, 96, 97, A11, J11, N22, X3 and X8. The buses on these routes will experience delays on their regular routes due to the time involved at the various checkpoints that have been established. Additionally, the buses that usually operate on streets that have been closed are being detoured around those streets.
