If you were wondering about all the honking on I-395 this morning: a gander of geese briefly took over a portion of the express lanes near Edsall Road this morning.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) briefly shut down two lanes of I-395 and received an escort from Virginia State Police and Safety Service Patrol.

In a video shared by VDOT, a Virginia State Police officer can be seen briefly exiting his vehicle to herd the geese.

VDOT said that, as of 8:55 a.m., the geese had safely exited at Edsall Road into Alexandria. No word on whether or not they paid the toll.
