Video: People Keep Cutting Across I-395 to Get to the HOV Bridge

(Updated at 4:30 p.m.) Drivers have been routinely cutting across northbound I-395 to access the HOV bridge into the District, causing traffic hazards on the normally busy highway.

During a pandemic and nationwide protests, it might not seem like a big deal, but it has been happening with surprising regularity.

Public safety watchdog Dave Statter has caught numerous drivers on video, risking life and limb to shave a few minutes from their drive. It happened over and over again on Saturday, when a crash backed up traffic in the main lanes.

Many drivers try to make the move while coming from the Crystal City area and southbound Route 110.

Earlier this month, Statter posted a video of an SUV driver blocking traffic and taking almost a minute to cross the three lanes of the highway to get to the slightly less backed up bridge. VDOT took note of the video on Twitter.

A Metrobus driver was spotted doing the same in February. Statter tells ARLnow that Metro told him they “immediately handled it” after seeing the video.

This afternoon, meanwhile, Statter posted about yet another driver attempting the “daredevil dash.”
