Congratulations Fairfax County, you have nearly completed construction of the Silver Line around the Tysons Corner area. Soon all of our traffic problems will be over. [NOT REALLY]
According to the Fairfax Times workers have nearly completed the large aerial guideways that will be used to carry the new Metro line. Marcia McAllister, communications manager for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project said that the aerial guideways, deemed to be “some of the most difficult work” would be completed by the middle of this month.
Unfortunately, this will not ease any of the congestion problems around the region.
Despite McAllister’s promise that this “breakthrough” will lead to less disruptions along the Dulles Toll Road and Va. 7, it will not mean an end to road closures related to rail construction, the Times noted.
Well that’s just wonderful. So commuters will continue to pay, on the roads and with their pocketbooks, all so that Tysons can get a few extra customers.
Here’s an idea. Instead of pumping some $2.6 billion into building a new Metro line, why not improve the existing system, AND work on improving some of the roads around here?
But that just makes too much sense. Far too much sense for any politician to take seriously.
