Officials: Redskins game likely to impact commute

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Officials in Prince George’s county are warning drivers that a Redskins game at FedEx field will likely impact the evening commute.

The Redskins game against the Seattle Seahawks is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. Monday at FedEx Field in Landover. Officials say drivers should plan ahead for the evening commute as a result. Officials are encouraging drivers to carpool, ride the Metro, add extra travel time or leave early. They’re also encouraging drivers who don’t need to get to the stadium to avoid the area and use alternate routes.

Officials say football fans and commuters can get real-time traffic information Monday evening on Twitter by following the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Twitter feed and using the hashtag #GameTime.
