[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of it is construction related to the Lexus lanes (express lanes) being added between Tyson's and the MD line.[/quote] Yes, that area of the Beltway is always crowded. It’s the construction and the bridge, even though there is no obvious place that lanes are blocked.[/quote] Construction zones have reduced speed limits, squiggly lanes, jersey walls, etc...combine that with the high-density of the area + being a major thoroughfare for traveling. [/quote] This is the best answer. Congestion, already present at times, has spread over more hours during the express lanes extension project. The "etc." above includes some temporary entrance configurations with no merge area. New lanes are supposed to open later this year, with construction complete the first part of next year.[/quote]
