Days after the Washington region experienced its most intense storm of the year, crews along George Washington Memorial Parkway are picking up hundreds of tons of fallen tree logs and debris that prompted a stretch of the busy commuter route to close.
The National Park Service reopened the northbound lane Tuesday, while the southbound lane is expected to be available Wednesday
“It was probably the worst storm that we’ve seen in years here,” he said. “We’re certainly reacting to it in real time, and it’s something that we responded to as quickly as we could, just to make sure that people driving the parkway don’t approach something.”While the commuter headache is coming to a close, crews were continuing to clear debris or loose limbs from trees — especially in areas where greenery is canopied over the road.
In Maryland, Montgomery County officials said Tuesday that county crews had cleared more than 160 fallen trees, including two that fell on houses. Crews also secured areas for at least 31 downed live electrical wires.
