Greenway expansion

This really only matters to people who live in NoVA, because the exit names/numbers won't mean a hill of beans to anyone else.

Nonetheless, good news about the Greenway and expanding lanes, new exits, etc. The one I'm particlularly interested in is the exclusive ramp/entrance to Dulles Airport. Now, it may only take us 7 minutes, as opposed to 10, to get to IAD. ;-)

Also see this for a graphic, in case you are a visual learner....

Good news, but in my opinion the merge from the Greenway to 66 needs work the most. Who dreamed up dumping all the Greenway traffic onto 66 and then squeezing it down to TWO lanes all within a couple mile stretch? Fix that and it would cut probably twenty minutes from my trip to DC.

Very true. What a horrible choke-point.

You may check out http://www.idea66.com for more info on a possible expansion of I-66.

Hopefully VDOT can get some money and actually build the thing....

I have an idea! How about using some of that surplus in the state budget that they aren't planning on giving us - you know the money that was there BEFORE they hiked the tax by half a percent. Hmm... You'd think adults with brains ran our state...or not.
