Recent repaving of 495 before Legion Bridge
Date: December 08, 2014 01:07PM
So they somewhat recently (during the past summer, I guess) milled down the section of 495 (Inner Loop) between Tysons and the American Legion Bridge, and "repaved" it.
Well, it has to be the worst damn job of repaving I've ever seen, especially the rightmost two lanes near the GW Parkway exit. Various uneven layers of asphalt, with some three inches higher on the left side of the lane compared to the middle or right. You'll see cars shunting over to the far right of their lane to avoiding riding with half of their left tires sitting in midair.
Anyways, is this a temporary repaving job, while they complete work on the rail in the median? Or do they intend to leave it as is? Kind of a night-and-day contrast with the 95 repaving in Howard County, which is smooth as a racetrack...
