From Arlnow.com

Arlington County’s bomb squad is investigating suspicious packages found near a utility box along I-66, at the Patrick Henry Drive overpass.

A VDOT contractor found the objects earlier today and called police, according to Arlington County Fire Department spokesman Lt. Gregg Karl.

ARLnow.com is hearing that construction crews working on the I-66 widening project found a disassembled machine gun and a tube full of metallic objects in the ground.

Patrick Henry Drive has been closed in both directions while the bomb squad investigates. Earlier, a bomb squad member carried a box from the site with what appeared to be the butt of a military-style gun. Minutes later, “fire in the hole” was called a detonation could be heard.

Neighbors say the area where the bomb squad is investigating is a popular cut-through for kids on their way home from school.
