[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD has signed an agreement with Transurban. That agreement is currently being litigated because other companies wanted to bid, but it’s unlikely that will be successful. It will be very hard for Maryland to exit this agreement and there is no alternative plan in place to rebuild the bridge so it will happen eventually. However in typical Maryland fashion it will be decades too late. [/quote]

Whatever Transurban has a contract to do, they're not going to do it. As you may have heard, Maryland will have a new governor and 2/3 of a new Board of Public Works next month. The clock ran out on Larry Hogan's pet plan.[/quote]

So what is YOUR answer then to the chokehold there?[/quote]

Same as Elrich and the MoCo leadership -- do nothing.

Actually, Elrich did have a suggestion on how to relieve beltway congestion -- he suggested a campaign to tell people about taking the ICC as an alternative. I'm not making this up. As if people don't have GPS systems that can't already tell them to take it if it's faster.[/quote]

And that's why maryland is the mess that it is.  FWIW the Bridge is on Maryland's side.  There was a plan to finish by 2030 or 2040 but as usual nothing is happening and nothing will[/quote]
