\"\"<\/a>Funding Passed for Widening Of I-66<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
One part of the I-66 widening inside the Capital Beltway (I-495) has been approved — extending the on-ramp from Fairfax Drive along the westbound lanes all the way to EXIT 69 Sycamore Street.<\/p>\n

The move reversed a decision by the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board last month to strip the $75 million project from the region’s transportation plan. Yesterday, the swing votes were cast by two Fairfax County supervisors, Catherine M. Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill) and Linda Q. Smyth (D-Providence), who last month had voted against the project.<\/p>\n

In exchange, the Virginia Department of Transportation assured the board that no further funding for the I-66 project beyond the first phase would be committed until several studies are completed. But, as some board members pointed out, that is not much of a concession, because the state does not have money to fund the other two phases of the project anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They might as well not do anything until they extend that lane all the way to EXIT 67 Dulles Access\/Toll Road. As for the transit alternatives that some Arlingtonians want there is one coming — the Silver Line. When I lived in Pentagon City, I have happily have taken Metro to Tysons everyday instead of driving. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
