Inbound Canal Road in D.C. has reopened after an hours-long closure due to a downed pole and power lines, causing significant congestion as traffic was rerouted through Arizona Avenue.

An extended closure on the popular commuter route ended around 11 a.m. Tuesday after crews completed repairs on a pole and transmission lines damaged by a fallen tree before morning commute.

杏吧原创 was diverted through Arizona Avenue to MacArthur Boulevard, the 杏吧原创 杏吧原创 Center reported, heavy impacting inbound travel on Chain Bridge Road, North Glebe Road and the Clara Barton Parkway, all which had slowed to a crawl before the turn onto Arizona Avenue.

Residual delays remain. For the latest road and traffic conditions, see 杏吧原创’s traffic page.
