Interstate 95 southbound is a parking lot
Second in a series of updates today from the State Highway Administration operations center in Hanover.
Interstate 95 his not moving at all in the southbound direction north of Route 175, where nine vehicles got stuck this morning. The SHA is warning motorists to avoid southbound 95 between Baltimore and the Capital Beltway.
Traffic is backed up at least as far as Route 100, according to the video feed to the operations center. There is no sign of progress being made at all. Travelers should avoid the area.
According to the SHA, it has equipment of the scene towing outs the stranded vehicles -- 3 tractor-trailers, 3 SUVs and 3 passenger cars. But the SHA is having trouble getting its own equipment through.
Traffic has been halted for about 2 hours as of 12:10 P.M.
