Hey, all things considered, I have been very pleased with the progress and minimal impact of all the work over the past three years. I lived in FFX, right where they built the new parkway in in early 90s and it was a huge mess. Prince WIlliam and VDOT seem much better at pacing the improvements. I live right off Linton Hall and was only occasionally annoyed by the widening.
I looked online at the proposed I-66 and Rt 29 interchange and, well holy shit, it's complicated. It took me a couple of tries before I figured it out. Yeah, the intersection at Linton Hall and 29 was a mess, but it honestly looked pretty crappy with the run-down businesses there, prior to the roadwork. I am willing to cut VDOT and the county some slack because they are still funding the project and moving right along. I think I saw that it is supposed to be completely finished by sometime 2010. I use the alternate routes (Wellington, University, Sudley Manor, Devlin, and 15) as much as possible, too. At least we have options.
