I know there are a few topics going back on similar questions, but nothing feels like having your own question answered-- I live in NW DC, and am considering taking a job right at the 495/66 junction in Merrifield- can anyone comment on the route/commute time? Google maps says it should be 30 minutes via 66, but I'm sure that's underestimating it with traffic and all, even in the morning. Coming home from the interview during rush hour took me about 45, because traffic gets bogged down around arlington. Can I expect the same in the morning? Is it even worse?
I can also get to 50 pretty quick, but figure that may slow down because of the lights. Anyone do a similar commute in the morning? Thanks for your help.
