as an alternate. as we check in and look at some of the main lines 695 moving right along here at dulaney valley road. no problems to report from parkville up to 8 3. and this is with the west side at liberty road. looking at a normal 9ment ride on the outer -- 9 minute ride on the outer loop. and an accident cleared from 95 at fort mchenry tunnel toll plaza but no delays. looking at typical 8 minute ride northbound from 695 to the toll plaza. that's a look at your abc2 timesaver traffic now over to you. news time is 6:32. an update to a story we brought you out of atlanta. atlanta journal constitution is reporting police have given the all clear to the cnn building. this is a video we received into the abc2 newsroom for two hours ago, this after someone called 911 saying he was inside the building with a chemical bomb. officers rushed to the sceneclosing off a number of streets and minutes ago they cleared the scene moving crime
