A large trucker convoy that converged in Hagerstown, MD over the weekend have said they are hitting the road again today, Monday, March 7, in an effort to disrupt traffic on the Capital Beltway.
The convoy made its first trip around the beltway on Sunday morning and did not appear to have much impact on traffic. Local drivers were able to pass and maneuver around the trucks and many of the vehicles involved in the convoy became separated from the group.
The first of several trucker convoys headed to the DC area this week is expected to arrive today.
Protest organizer Bob Bolus of Scranton, PA, almost called his convoy off this morning when only a handful of trucks showed up at the starting point, but ultimately decided to proceed as scheduled around 10:30am, according to Kevin Lewis from ABC7.
A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge has ordered the state of Maryland to reconsider its decision to award a $54 million contract to Accelerate Maryland Partners, an international conglomerate comprised of toll road developer Transurb, and Australian financial services group Macquarie, according to a report by Maryland Matters.
On Thursday, Judge John M. Maloney ruled that Maryland Department of Transportation was wrong to reject others bids on the project based on timeliness grounds.
A Maryland Stare Trooper that was performing a separate traffic stop was struck this morning at exit 6 on I-270 (West Montgomery Avenue).
The trooper was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, according to Chief Spokesperson for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Pete Piringer.

Starting today, the Maryland Department of Transportation has activated 18 ramp meters along I-270 South. Full details below on what to expect below courtesy of MDOT:
Ramp metering is a part of the I-270 Innovative Congestion Management (ICM) project designed to help reduce congestion on this busy interstate. The system uses sensors that detect real-time traffic conditions and activate traffic signals, when needed, to more efficiently control how traffic merges onto I-270. This will allow motorists to merge safely onto I-270 while minimizing delay and reducing congestion. When ramp metering is in operation:
