I wonder how long until it goes the remaining few hundred yards to the highway. I assume probably not until early next year at the earliest... but that bypass once done may make getting to VA a little easier.

I somehow managed to read the story on that awful website with all its jumping around and crashing my phone’s browser numerous times. I learned it is expected to connect to 52 in the summer of 2023.
