European Tribune - Comments - Local Rail Extras I

Local Rail Extras I | 27 comments (27 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Maybe someone should do a "highway" blog to show some of the monstrous and expensive examples of such wasteful ventures. The 10 years in the making Springfield interchange on Interstate 95, near Wash DC and the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac River, also near Wash DC, come to mind.

On the plus side (if it ever gets built) the Wash metro area is extending light rail to Dulles Intl Airport. That will take years to build.

Re: A new bridge (none / 0)

The state of the Dulles Metro project (which is heavy metro BTW) was discussed in the last dKos thread, check it out.
