Sounds like quite a lot of people want it widened when you put it like that.

Interchanges are so late 20th century. They don’t work great and take up way too much space.

My you’re provincial. Even when I moved to VA/DC 30 years ago Leesburg was part of the discussion. Can’t tell you how many people I’ve worked with that commuted from Leesburg to DC, Roselyn and Suitland.
