There's only one bridge, with 4 lanes each way, between MoCo and VA. That hardly seems like a lot to connect two areas each with over 1 million population.

The ICC (MD-200) opened 7 years ago. I hear few complaints that it's overcrowded and we need to expand it.

In fact, the ICC would be part of an outer beltway and second bridge crossing. VA already has done most of their part -- it's VA-28 near Dulles. We just need less than 10 miles from that end of VA-28 to the start of 370/MD-200 to complete it. However, MoCo will staunchly oppose it because it would enter a tiny sliver of the Agricultural Reserve at one corner of it.[/quote]

The outer beltway and second bridge crossing are transportation planning from the 1950s. It's 2018. How about some 2018 ideas?

A "tiny sliver of the Agricultural Reserve" -- lol.

As long as the nations capital and every national attraction is on the md side of the bridge then why should md build another bridge?

Md even owns the river.

1/2 of an Amazon field office is not prestigious.[/quote]

Because there is an enormous amount of commerce and travel between MD and VA every day. It benefits both states to make it easier to move people and goods between them. The demand is there -- look at how busy the current bridge is.

+1 this has nothing to do with amazon, though that will exacerbate things.  The traffic going south on 270 is *MISERABLE*, and I say this as someone who grew up in LA and lived in the Bay Area.[/quote]
