D.C. commuters must endure one more day of disruption due to the NATO Summit, which has brought a slew of road and sidewalk closures to the area surrounding the Washington Convention Center.

The gathering of NATO leaders has also shut down a couple of Metro stations and affected more than 20 bus routes.
