Having read over all the proposals (there were like 5)- Rt 28 was the most likely. For one, it's already a highway on 90% of the land on the Virginia side. Whereas 15 is a tiny one lane road that can't be expanded everywhere without emminent domain of 100+ year old homes and farms.
A crossing to 28 also provides a more direct connection to 370/200.

Summer of 2019 (e.g. pre-pandemic), we took a flight to Beijing out of BWI. Americans Airlines has several flights out of BWI that are heading internationally to Japan, China and other parts of the Pacifica/Asia.
American only flies to its central and eastern US hubs out of BWI.
BWI is the LCC and ULCC hub for the DMV. It’s a frustrating airport for business travelers. DCA and IAD offer better amenities and better flight options.
BWI serves more passengers than Dulles.
A lot of people hankering for that Southwest or Spirit experience in steerage class.
NP. I think a lot of people don't care if they're treated like steerage for cheap prices... as long as they actually get to the location on time. Which is something that airlines can't say, even the top airlines. I'm a petite person and IDGAF whether I'm squished or not for my short flight.
