Won't happen. Maryland will always obstruct. I've seen my whole life (62 years). Between the money of Bethesda/Potomac/Darnestown and the "agricultural preserve" of Poolesville, they will fight it every time.

I agree. It would be nice if at some point MD signed off on extending the express lanes over the bridge and into MD, if even logistically possible. While they're at it the 95 express lanes should be extended to Fredericksburg.

This is the NIMBY capital of the world. I remember when the proposed PW Parkway route was proposed, they were going to run it on Davis Ford Road. Only after alternate routes were pointed out, that were cheaper and required no road closures did the current route get voted in.

It'd be nice to see Fairfax County Parkway fully converted into a freeway, this would definitely reduce pressure on 495 between Springfield and 66 and ease the commute from people going from Woodbridge, Lorton, Fort Belvoir to places like Reston/Herndon/Dulles

I'm not sure that it would make any difference at all to 495. The road is already heavily used by those trying to avoid 495 and 95.
