square.squa that is exactly the same issue that caused the track fire and d smoke issue at l'efant plaza ana what made this even moree surprising and perhaps even more serious is that apparently theyy went back, there were lots of problems we knew with the powerr cables and the insulators, and a at mcpherson square, that cable insulator in that under groundnn tunnel had been inspected less s than year ago, and was deemed to be okay. so that is why general manager wiedefeld said he could not cld trust any of the inspectionspe that had been done previously. u wanted to try to figure out whaa is is going on with these cable insulators. what is happening the insulatiol is deteriorating and it's allowing the metal inside that t cable that electrified cable to contact metal that is in the tunnel causing the electrical arcing, causing these fires.es and really just said, you know,o yeah, it's

small risk, but it's a risk we s cannot take. here's what he said last night. >> while the risk to public isci very low, i cannot rule out a potential life safety issue herh and this is why we must take mt this action immediately. and in this case, um, there wasw potential metal on metal which w is very similar to what we had l'efant plaza situation.itti >> it happened once it, okay, io what happened? right? but it'' happened twice in a year.. so i can't -- i can't wait for't the third time. >> reporter: so from what we w understand it is 600 of these te jumper cables that are sort of filling a gap there in the ith underground tunnels undergroundu stations. stations they are fanning out through all the underground stations. sta a team of a edge pro swarming s the system not just with metro worker but outside contractorsoo as well to inspect every singlen one of those.. wiedefeld says he will not run the trains until personally bena sure all the insulators are

if some are not save they willil do what they have to do to fixex them before riders back on thos rails. back to you guys.back >> are we hearing potential thee closure could go on beyond tomorrow at 5am? that's waitha sounds like. >> reporter: yeah, it's possible.possib so the closure is now to be abla to get all of the inspectionsnso done. and do what they need to do toeo make sure there aren't anythinga things they missed.thgs then if they fine out that therr are one or two that are problematic that do have frayedd insulation with a problem of thf metal on metal they will have to what to do, intermittentmien closures or whether it is singll tracking around those problem pl points in order to get themet fixed.fi >> all right. either way it's a mess and the frustrations continue.ontinue there are alternate ways to geto around town while metro rail isi closed you can take marc or vee metro bus and access running with additional buses. bus. uber, lyft and taxis are available.. we're hearing about surcharge sh park later. later dc circumstance later and d.c.r.

be, you know, on the road or on foot.ot thank goodness it's a nice day ' weather wise.ather but a lot more traffic kind off traversing the city streetsy ste because people are not not underground riding trains. tra a lot more cars out here. h a lot of people walking. wal it's beautiful sunny day. that's good.th we were on buses all morning m with people as you mentioneded guys who are seeing a normally l 20 minute commute turn no a two-hour odyssey. oss so that's kind of the way it is, guys. just a lot of traffic out here h and folks who got out early didy all right. rht but this rush hour has extended now beyond the norm and into tht 10:00 o'clock hour and it'ss probably going to be pretty badb again in the afternoon hours.onu so a lot of people tele communicating but a lot ofg butl people making that are way toatt work. they didn't have the option orpo normally traverse the cityheit underground and they're abovey'a ground with a lot of the otheroo people this morning.oplehis guys. >> lots of frustrations today.ay erin como standing by with whatw more is happening on the roadsnh today.to

erin, i know it doesn't lookknt like it's going down at all but behind you is a sign of hope.f h >> things are starting to easeet bit on some of our majors but as bob showed you in the districttr it's really backed up.eally u i want to take live look at 3955 that has been problem all morning.moing. 395 as you head inbound from tht springfield interchange makingak your way this is actually a shoo from downtown.owntn. springfield interchange to thett 14th street bridge. mike rickert our photographer at fox5 he's on the line and he goe stuck in a huge backup on thep o inbound side. can you tell us about yours ab commute, mike? >> hi, erin. >> yes. y i was down in springfield shoo shooting slug lines of all all things, and they headed me backc in town to do a interview so i i gave myself an hour and a halfal and it took me i left i springfield at 7:40 it took me 9:20 i hit the 14th street see bridge and 9:40 so two hours later i finally got back intoact town.. and now, i don't know if you can see my shot i'm coming up 12th street threw town and it's stils just a mess.es

right now.ow previously we had 395 inbound ud on the screen and that is stilli parked. so folks are unfortunately stili battling this commute 395ommu 3 towards the 14th street bridge i you dealt with. traffic is heavy and as you cann see from your shot right now riw you're seeing a lot of brakeing lights ahead of you. this advice for folks travelingi to the city, mike? >> i would say use the restroomr before you get on the roads. and that's what i'm going to do soon i get out of this traffic.c it's two and a half three hoursh later.la i talked to some peoplee piggyback on what bob said the d slug lines and there were cars r that were waiting and people ppl that i asked and they said they usually a stream of people too ride into town and i think whati bob said was true.e. some people just bagged it and t decide not to come in because ib the cars actually would leave as soon as they got someone wouldnu just take two or three and theya were waiting here awhile andil then just left and it was very r slow. so i would say maybe people were smart and got the message andesa
