Third Street Tunnel was partially closed midday Friday after police searched for a man who they believe robbed a bank in Chinatown and then fled into the tunnel.
All southbound lanes of the tunnel, which runs through downtown D.C., were closed late Friday morning.
D.C. police said a man wearing construction clothes and a white mask over his mouth robbed the PNC Bank at 7th and I streets NW.
He fled into the tunnel and then was able to get away. Police are continuing to search for him.
The tunnel had reopened by 1 p.m.
Editor's Note: A police representative previously said officers had caught the suspect.
