coming in here to fox5.ox again, live pictures if skyfox over wheaton, maryland.heon, >> thank you for joining us. us. i'm sarah simmons. >> and i'm laura evans. evans >> what would you do if the yout metro line you used each day was closed for months becauses of repairs. repai it is something metroro officials are can considering.c >> a full review of the entire system is now under way andndery the chairman of the metro board is speaking out now to inform the public that an tha a entire metro line may need to ne be closed if the general manager recommends it. fox5's matt auckland is liveataa at metro center with more.hor matt, this could cause a mess.es >> reporter: it sure. could, laura. chairman jack evans told me told today that it's simply noty n long enough, just a couplea cou hours at night and on weekendsne to close down the system totem make these repairs. so, this is not set in stonen s right now.right basically they are looking atooa the situation, a full review rev of the entire system is under

way. but jack evans told me should sd that come back and that the t general manager recommends recos that one of the lines needs to e be closed down, well, he as metro chairman and he says theey board will back the gm's gm' recommendation let's take youtin to video now.ow this news comes just a few weeks after metro's emergency shutdown, you remember that, it really messed up the dayp th for many people.e. evans says that the metro mro system has been neglected for so long that maybe the onlyy way to make needed repairs is is to shut down a line for a long period of time.peod o this would give metro the ability to renovate everything, basically making, ba it brand new. >> one of the suggestions isstio as other systems have done weon close down the entire line, the entire blueline or orangerra line or whatever it is and doito all the repair work that'shat' necessary that could take months to do and then open it tn up as a brand new line and we fix then the infrastructure ofce that

it's inconvenient, people are going to be outraged, annoyed and all of that but franklyranky the way we're doing it is not working.wo >>rk reporter: all right, itig, bears repeating that this ishats just something that they are tta looking at.g a no decision has been made. we're told that this revieww should last about six weeks.eeks then the general manager willagl go to the board with a presentation, then they'll discuss it. now, you might be asking,ige as well, what line are theyre thinking about, which lineshichs are they thinking about? at at this point that has not been determined.rmined according to jack evans, heto jv did say today that a lot oft a o work has been done on the red line, the green line, that'se, a one of the newest and thet and silver line of course are new.ew he doesn't believe that thet the repairs will be needed therededt but he said don't hold him to ht that.. so, at this point we still still have about a month, six weeksee before they really determine d if this needs to take place.la and if it does, if it does, they say they're going to go to local communities

with the community about howmm to deal with this.eal they'll increase bus patrols or bus routes there, makingerakn sure that they can get peoplee to and from work, but it is truly going to be a big inconvenience if it happens.ienc live at metro center, matt ackland, fox5 local news.s. >> wow.>> wow thanks matt. another inconvenience inhe town this week.r you may want to give yourself extrtoo a time to get around tow these next few days allay because of the nuclear security summit in northwest.the >> this event gets under way tomorrow at the washington convention center. c it's already causing changesea on metro.dy on m caitlin retoth is live with thet details on this. caitlin a lot of peoplelot of po listening up to find out how o this is going to affect them.ech >> so many people laura and star a both metro and roads anda will be impacted.ac we're talking about a 20 blocki area. now we'll start with the

mount vernon square metro stopao will be closed beginningng tonight at 8 o'clock and thatckt lasts through the day onthro friday. not an exact time of when itheni will be reopening.llreop the secret service will givevicw word on that by friday. fri but you cannot get off or get on at mount vernon beginningegii at 8 o'clock tonight on either t the yellow line or the greenhe e line. the trains will just bypassjust the station. the you'll have to getst off at either gallery place or shaw.r . where i'm standing new yorking avenue and seventh street theee convention center right behindrh me where the nuclear summitlears will be taking place we've got major road closures that wed cl got word were supposed to s begin at 7:00 p.m.0 p however, we're not seeing any security out on the scenesn thec that would indicate theseldic roads will be closed in less than two hours.wo it might be more of a soft a s closing. g. they'll wait until rush hour h ends but all of the barricades a around me have been set upn se that will be block off a lot a of sidewalks, so not just thisti area around the square butquare along that 20-block gridock gr you'll see more of these m t barricades that will be going gg up and pedestrians will beedestr routed around al

street closures.re they'll be restricted to thed sidewalks in which they are kind of end caged within thesei barricades. now, we do have you can see s those barricades there,e ba everyone is going around themrot at this point.oi we do have a map of all of the street closures becauselosubeca there's just too many to listt rightto now, but basically wasiy need is know all of the mount t vernon square area, it area, stretches from about sixth abo x street all the way over to w ove 11th and then i believe from kro streets all the way up north to o street so that is a large l grid of streets that arereets aa supposed to be closed csed beginning at 7:00 p.m.g at:00 tonight. now, we also have word thatd tt those streets will be closed clo until noon on saturday. so, these street closures lookes like they're going to be going g longer than the metro closure.s. along with that, there have theh been parking restrictions thatoa have been in place since a fewia days ago and the sidewalkk restrictions i guess would guesu probably be going along withlong any of the road restrictions. so back outer here live behindte me rush hour moving fine. fin it looks like we'll gete wel through this evening butugthis begi

reminder you cannot use any ofno these roads and again metro m mount vernon square will bewi b closed beginning at 8:00 p.m. tonight and you can't access it until later on fridaynrida evening. that's the latest in northwest h d.c., laura and sarah i'llarah l send it back in to you.. >> caitlin we've seen thishi before with the world health heh organization when they haveth hv their meetings and it reallyealy causes gridlock downtown. downt. pack your patience tomorrow if t you're headed downtown.tow >> absolutely.>> aolut tonight the smithsonianit has a new controversy on itssy hands. at issue whether bill cosby should be part of the exhibits planned for the newanne african-american museum ofican s history which is set to open seo this fall.al >> smithsonian officials haveffv confirmed they plan to includenc the comedian among theong the exhibits. cosby as you know facesw fa numerous investigations from f women who claim cosby drugged c and sexual assaulted them. fox5's tom fitzgerald isal live on the national mall tonight.night. fitz opinions are all over the map on this one.s >> reporter: yes, goodor evening.ev you know, this latest museum mus from the smithsonian isn'tansn going to open for months but
