D.C. Police to block Capitol traffic flow: Terror

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON - Police announced plans to block all traffic flow around the Capitol, and to search some of the vehicles, to ensure that explosives do not get near the building.

The crackdown, announced late Monday, was to begin at 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer said his officers will block portions of Independence and Constitution avenues — major traffic arteries that run on either side of the Capitol grounds — in the operation.

Cars, trucks or drivers who raise police suspicions in visual inspections will be subjected to more intrusive examination, which will cause traffic tie-ups for that portion of the nation's capital, Gainer said. Police also plan to block off one street, which goes between two Senate office buildings, which already has been done to streets between House office buildings.
