Yes, but it was the evening commute back to Lake Barcroft that really killed.

The evening "reverse" commute is worse than the morning commute on I-66 in my experience.

Absolutely! It’s awful and soul crushing. We moved as a result.

I had the same experience and switched jobs because of it.

I believe it. Commute from Ballston/Westover in Arlington to the FFX govt center area in Fairfax. 25 minutes in the morning. Can be 30-50 minutes in the afternoon. The last week was awful and I averaged 45 minutes back each night. I hope to switch jobs soon and I’m only looking inside the beltway.
