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.

[b]1/2 of an Amazon field office is not prestigious[/b].[/quote]
Yep
To hear Nova folks talking,  you would think that Amazon is the great savior, the second coming of Christ.
I guess anything to give them a boost,  make them relevant is good.[/quote]

I'm not the poster you are responding to, but just wanted to add that I think you are missing the point.  Who cares if 1/2 of HQ is or is not prestigious.  It means 25,000 jobs, most of which will go to gainfully employed young people who can be taxed and don't use county services like schools or subsidized housing.  How many restaurants that fail in less than a year have to open up on Rockville Pike to make 25,000 jobs?  And those are minimum wage jobs.  [/quote]

Right the young people are never going to have kids..you really have this figured out.[/quote]
