Instead of this project, I would recommend adding a $40M "Bull Run Crossing" project between Prince William county and Fairfax County to the list. After the I-66 OTB toll project is complete, this will help provide funding to mitigate any unintended consequences of the toll project. My recommendation would be to add roadway connection between Bull Run Dr in Fairfax County and Battlefield Pkwy in Prince William County with bike/ped accommodations. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1HZI0RvEXxynZUC98b50apipWWY0&usp=sharing
