I’m glad I’m retiring in 2022. 50 years of DC, MD traffic has been quite enough, thank you. Is it 2022 yet?
Deport the illegals and visa overstays and we won’t have these traffic problems.
Reconnecting the roads that were broken up by the original highways via overpasses and underpasses, so that local travelers can use the surface roads instead of the long, winding parking lot would help, too.
The south end of the Jones Falls Expressway in Baltimore, for example, has overpasses and underpasses out the a**. I’m sure Baltimoreans were grateful for that accommodation.
Cintra doesn’t do all of the PPPs, but given their dismal performance with the Indiana Toll Road, among other projects, I am leery of Virginia allowing them to build the I-66 toll lanes.
On the other hand, Transurban’s not doing too hot, either. Their I-495 express lane project is losing money, and, IIRC, they showed the I-95 express lanes as breaking even with an accounting trick.
Ditto, ditto, ditto. I expect this would be a far more cost effective use of the money, as compared to widening the interstates.
