Traffic in Northern Va is horrendous. It is often worse on the weekends than during the week. A major portion of the problem is a political machine that wants to force people onto either poorly run or non-existent mass transit.

The major north/south artery on the East Coast and 95 only has three lanes each way with 2 exorbitantly expensive bidirectional toll lanes in the middle. Those toll lanes are a public/private partnership which will always be used to limit any expansion of the regular lanes.

The crooked governor and Northern VA liberals have another grand plan to make toll lanes out of existing lanes on I-66, the other major VA artery into D.C. A total disaster.

I live in NoVa and I take the train into work in DC, VRE and Amtrak. Best way to commute. Widening 95 and 66 won’t help, not at the rate the area is growing. Stafford co just released a study saying their population will increase by another 1/3rd in 20 years. Look up “induced demand”, expanding the roads is an expensive bandaid solution that will only hurt us down the road.

Ain’t I-81 wonderful!
