Metro subway fire in Washington DC fiber repair delayed until Sunday

The fire in the Metro subway line in Washington DC damaged
some fiber.  Due to the hazardous conditions, safety
officials will not allow fiber repair crews access to the
area until, at the earliest, Sunday.  It appears most traffic
is re-routed around the damage sections, but some unusual
routing and increased latency is possible.
