downtown. >> reporter: imat the perimeter of one of the security areas. massachusetts and 11th and m street. right behind me you see the beginning of a mess that will ensue for the next 48 hours. a lot of police officers, military humvees moving in. semis moving in very heavy concrete barriers. bruce, while this nuclear summit is supposed to make the world a much more peaceful place it isn't going to be peaceful tonight. in fact, tens of thousands of folks who have to commute by here on a daily basis might just go ballistic. the unprecedented summit will create an unprecedented nightmare for the tens of thousands who commute through the center of the nation's capital. > >> reporter: the metro station closed at 9:00 p.m. sunday evening. >> there are thousands of folks that use that metro station every day to be able to get to
11:13 pm
work and everywhere else that they need to go. >> reporter: law enforcement agencies from the police department to secret service have locked down 24 square blocks in the heart of washington dc so dozens of motorcades carrying the leaders of 47 nations can make their way in and out of the convention center. and that means residents who live nearby will be screened before they can get to their homes. >> in order for you to come through they will ask you to show your i.d and who are you visiting, stuff like that. >> reporter: and with no vehicles allowed in or out, some like harry moore who needs dialysis on a daily basis doesn't know how he will get there. >> reporter: even the washington airspace which is already highly controlled will be more closely restricted during the two days of the summit. and now you are looking at a live image of the perimeter on 11th street and massachusetts and one of the problems that folks will be facing if they
11:14 pm
try to commute in this area is not just the perimeter and security all around the convention center, but also, bruce, anybody who is lived in the metro dc area for any length of time knows about the precedential motorcades that stop traffic while those limousines go by. over the next two days there will be 50 motorcades from all of the world leaders going to their hotels, going to the convention center, going to all kinds of meetings. so things are going to get very, very difficult all around the heart of washington, dc, for the next two days. >> you're right. we should also remind the viewers to keep in mind as commuters begin to avoid the closed off streets it will send traffic to other streets in other neighborhoods. patience tomorrow morning. local businesses near the convention center are already complaining about their losses. britany morehouse is live with more on that story. >> reporter: hello, bruce. losses that you mentioned are big time. some owners are telling me 75%
11:15 pm
this weekend alone not because the streets were closed because actually the streets near the convention center were open but because they were getting ready to close them and that chased away customers. you can see across the street we have the turkish embassy. already we have seen a lot of cars pulling up in and out. we have seen some international visitors pouring into the meeting rooms and they are the kind of visitors that these local businesses at the convention center tell me will help what they have already hurt. >> we are a small business owner and this has really hurt us big time. >> reporter: an empty bar on fun day sunday. >> baseball. masters going on. we shouldn't be packed but at least 75% capacity. this is pretty much dead today. >> reporter: it has been dead since friday inside the dominion old brewhouse. >> once the barrier went literally business dropped more than half. >> how can i help you. >> reporter: halfway up the
11:16 pm
block, fielding cancellations. >> we will do some business tomorrow. >> reporter: and new business tuesday. >> we might lose a couple thousand. that's a lot for a small business. a big hit for a big summit. it is a familiar scenario up and down 9th street where mom and pop shops plan to stay open. >> you actually can't drive on 7th street, 9th street. n street, m street, l street. >> reporter: now they are thinking what were we thinking? >> we are worried about some of the employees getting in. >> reporter: worried that for anyone selling food and drink might have an upside. >> i think it is a good thing but i'm expecting the business to be busy. >> they will have 4000 people or so inside. hopefully we can get some business from them to offset our losses. >> reporter: and they are already brewing up specials. >> i hope so.
11:17 pm
>> hot coffee. >> reporter: nuclear specials that may actually attract some of those summit attendees. the secret service is not allowing food to go in or outside the convention center. interestingly, bruce, i spoke with an anc commissioner who thinks he has legal grounding next time around to convince the city that these businesses should get paid for the several days that they shut down to allow this kind of summit to go on. >> britany morehouse reporting from downtown. thank you. right now we want to get to dc police chief joining us by phone. chief, what should we be aware of tomorrow? what is it you want to say to travelers in and about town tomorrow? >> like we always ask and like our dc travelers always do, we have been putting information out the last several days just asking people to have a plan, try and use alternate routes and alternate transportation and those that have to come anywhere near the security perimeter we need you to be patient coming through.
11:18 pm
dc traffic is not pleasant on a normal day sometimes. so we are hoping that people have done what we ask them to do and take a little time in the morning. >> 47 foreign leaders, chief. a lot of motorcades and a lot of street closures. not just the downtown area we are talking about much of the town period, right? >> that's correct. they have been going all day today and some for a couple of days and there have been no problems so far. i think most of the motoring public in dc are used to the motorcades and are very observing. if you can find other ways to get around and take public transportation, please do. >> i can't imagine you've got every available person on duty for tomorrow. but any threats that you can talk about or just what comes with the turf? many international, national figures. do we have any threats we should know about tonight? >> we are not working on any specific threats.
11:19 pm
