Downtown traffic not too bad, city says
As of about 5:30 p.m. the expected traffic congestion from the influx of U2 fans to M&T Bank Stadium wasn't looking too bad, according to the Baltimore Department of Transportation.
Department spokeswoman Kathy Chopper said some backups were developing on St. Paul and Light streets but added that there was "nothing too crazy because of the concert."
As of 6:10 p.m., Navteq's Traffic.com maps were showing no backups onto Interstate 95 or Maryland RRoute 295 as a result of inbound Baltimore traffic.
Some 75,000-80,000 people are expected to attend the 7 p.m. concert.
UPDATE: At 5:50 p.m., Chopper reported that traffic was backed up on Lombard Street between President and Light. That's not unusual for the time of day.
