[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This intersection was a mess before the 66 Tolls started.

I live near /Benjamin and we have a very senior Federal official who lives nearby who is the cause of this closure.  This closure is happening and will be permanent.  There is no control Fairfax or VA has on this.....

Utter BS - this was caused by the $44.00 tolls on I-66.  And if you are referencing Comstock, which I assume you are, she has NOTHING to do with VDOT and NOVA roads.  Nothing. Zero.  Look up the difference between Congressional representation and state legislature.  GO complain to your supervisor Foust.[/quote]

This is utter BS.  Except for the tiny additional amount of time from the extended HOV hours on 66 (eg from 6 to 7AM) there are no additional people who cannot use 66 during the HOV hours that could not LEGALLY use it before.

So if this McLean traffic problem is suddenly happening from 6-7AM then you can fairly blame it on the tolls.  The rest of the day there is actually more access to 66 than before because now you can pay a toll to use the road and that was not an option before.[/quote]
