that right lane ask taken out they are doing the bridge inspections got big bright spotlight there maybe another half hour or so, same deal here, on the turnpike, willow grove. scheduled to be out until 6:00 working in both directions they're working on the northeast extension so with this great weather, bridges out all of the construction crews. so just be aware that far if you are getting ready to leave the house this early wednesday morning. otherwise, mass transit looking good. chris lauren back to you. >> good news, bob. curfew in baltimore fires in less than half hour. goes back no effect at 10:00 tonight, every night this week. >> yes, enacted after protest turned violent monday, giving way to looting fires as you well know, hundreds of arrests, so steve keeley said get me to baltimore. i opportunity see what it is like when we common the air at 4:00 in the morning. steve, you found some people that were in handicuffs earlier, zip ties behind their back? >> yes, national guard, baltimore police, out near big numbers, hoping what we watched, seven arrests since we got here, hopefully the
4:34 am
last arrest on night one of the curfew. they didn't have the curfew two night ago like everybody thought. it took a full day for it to go in effect. we're in the final minutes of night one and told by police, rough estimate, about 250 arrests. you are looking at what they hope will be the final four, and we did get an answer of what these four kids were up to because we're told they're under age and they had no idea they are claiming that there was a curfew. they said they're out of towners, and just looking for their cars. so they came to town to take part in the protest and obviously not following the news if they didn't know there was a curfew, because it seems to be in every headline on every newspaper story or any website or any tv story. but perhaps they're out not watching it. v, no access to the web on their phones, is what they are claiming and so instead of finding their car they found a jail cell. they were just taken off to baltimore police lock up to be
4:35 am
processed and fined. it is a misdemeanor like traffic ticket. but it casino of can ruin your night. it is definitely a record of arrest in your young life for these four people who were taken away, in the last hour of the curfew. as we come back to the live picture, you can see why there are not many people violating the curfew, because you have to be really dumb to do it because as soon as you come to the epi-center area of where we saw the rioting monday that to the right of us right now is the burned out cvs not yet boards dollars up but certainly guarded up pretty good to the left of the front door entrance, you see couple of national guard humvee's and to the left of the humvees you see baltimore police caring their sticks, not needing them, because night number two of relative calm night compared to the original night monday night when that rioting broke out. so they'll try to get schools back in and get life back to normal here in baltimore today, outside that far baseball game which will be crazy abnormal with nobody inside.
4:36 am
everybody wondering will it and public address system, a lot of people that game may be the most popular game of the season for sure because that's why everybody is talking about wondering how are they going to pull it o had public address announcers, scoreboard operators? still on tv and you have to wonder if the tv station airing it will have fake sound effect kind of like a laugh track that you saw on i love lucy even though those weren't done before live audiences. soap it will be another interesting day here in baltimore, but for sure probably a very calm day and that's a good thing for everybody who lives here, works here, or is even visiting here and wants to take part in peaceful -- >> we agree up bay baseball fans it will be odd to see a huge stadium and silent. that will silence will speak volumes. >> well, what it reminds dollars me of is i started my career as sue serio it, i spent most of my 20's in baltimore, i mean, in buffalo. and that is where they film
4:37 am
the movie the natural. before that stadium that old baseball stadium was torn down what they had out there for that movie and you probably don't know it, do you have watch it roll close they stenciled in fake fans in the outfield because they couldn't get enough extras, and that's what came to my thought right away here, maybe they could stencil in some fake fans at the orioles stadium today for the game today. >> good movie. starring robert redford steve keeley thank you interesting. 4:37 how about this? >> president obama spoke yesterday condemning the violence but says it sheds the spotlight on slow rolling crisis with the police officers who don't do the right thing. >> there are problems, and challenges when it comes to how policing and our laws are applied in certain noon communities, and we have to pay attention to it. >> the president says those in baltimore who stole from businesses and burned buildings and cars are nothing more than criminals and should get treated that way.
