Traffic and Transit
This morning’s traffic and transit report brought to you by feet on the ground and in the air. Expect delays around the airport and on the roads in and out of town.
Traffic conditions
The morning commute is off to a slow start in many areas due to traffic conditions. Here are the latest reports:

-There is heavy traffic on I-495 northbound near Bethesda.

Transit schedules
Most people can probably think of a time when they’ve been late for something because of a traffic delay. It’s one of the most frustrating things about living in a city. But what if there was a way to avoid traffic altogether?
That’s where transit comes in. Transit is a system of buses, trains, and subways that can take you anywhere you need to go, without the hassle of sitting in traffic. And the best part is, it’s usually cheaper than taking a cab or driving your own car.
Transit schedules can be tricky to navigate, so we’ve put together a guide to help you get started.
Sports
The San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl last night, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-20. It was a close game, but the 49ers ultimately came out on top. This is the team’s sixth Super Bowl win, and they are now tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history.
Scores from last night’s games
The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox last night by a score of 9-1.
In other baseball action, the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4, and the Cincinnati Reds topped the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-5.
In basketball, the Golden State Warriors won their ninth straight game, beating the Charlotte Hornets 103-87.
Preview of tonight’s games
The San Francisco 49ers will be playing the Los Angeles Rams tonight. This is a preview of what to expect from both teams.
Both teams are struggling this season. The 49ers have a 2-8 record and the Rams are 3-7. However, both teams have something to play for tonight. The 49ers are currently in last place in the NFC West and the Rams are in third place. A win tonight would be a huge boost for either team’s playoff hopes.
The 49ers will be without their starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, who is out for the season with an injury. This means that backup quarterback C.J. Beathard will be starting tonight. Beathard has struggled this season, but he did have some success last year when he started 5 games for the 49ers. The Rams will be starting their usual quarterback, Jared Goff. Goff has also struggled this season, but he is a talented young quarterback and he has had some success in his career.
This should be a close game between two evenly matched teams. It will likely come down to which quarterback can make more plays and avoid turnovers.
Highlights from yesterday’s games
