[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]F[b]rom McLean our commute to DC is 16 minutes with only one red light.  When we drive home it’s like returning to a private resort.  [/quote][/b]

I've lived there 35 years.  It may have once upon a time been 16 minutes but post-covid it is not. The commute from McLean is STILL a far better commute than anyone has in Bethesda, Potomac, etc., because at least there are three or four avenues of ingress from McLean to DC, whereas most of those living north of D.C. are stuck with the Clara Barton highway or horrible stop-and-go commute on Wisconsin or Connecticut[/quote]

You are on point about this.  It can take 16 min to go to Gtown off key bridge if you take GW pkwy AND it's not clogged.  It usually isn't super busy because it serves areas of lower density, which adds to the desirability of the areas of Mclean that are 1-2 lights away from the GW PKWY entry point.  But with construction this can be hit of miss and other avenues of getting to DC are not really that fast[/quote]
