It looks like a tough time for MARC  Camden Line commuters. The Maryland Transit Administration sent out this advisory this afternoon:

Floodgates further up the Patuxent River were released at 4:00am today. It is anticipated that the floodgates in Laurel will have to be released later today or this evening. When this occurs, the Legion lot will be under as much as two feet of water.

Commuters should also be aware that several adjacent roads, including the Main Street underpass below the train tracks, Lafayette Avenue, Laurel Racetrack Road, Whiskey Bottom Road, and Brock Bridge Road may flood. The American Legion lot on the east side of the station will be closed again tomorrow and may be closed Monday. The one small lot closest to the station platform is open, however, the Laurel Police Department recommends that only SUV's and trucks park in this lot due to potential flooding of the driveway that leads into the lot (not the lot itself).

 MARC appreciates that this is a frustrating situation and that, as of this morning, there was no evidence of flooding. However, based on past experience, when it does flood, the Patuxent River overflows its banks quickly and provides little opportunity to remove cars before they are flooded and damaged. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding. We will provide an update on Monday morning when we receive an update from WSCC and the City of Laurel.
