Techway

What is the Techway?
Running from Route 28 near Dulles Airport, through the historic C&O Park and adjoining national wildlife management areas, the "techway" would cross the Potomac, slash through protected farmland, and to I-270 near Rockville and Gaithersburg. Its name stems from the idea that it would connect the Virginia and Maryland high-tech corridors.

Why the Techway is a Bad Idea:

The Techway will not relieve congestion, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation’s own numbers.
The Techway will undo existing land use plans and a protected agricultural reserve in Montgomery County
The Techway will open up the Virginia countryside to more sprawl development
The Techway does not connect key regional job centers, and does not take into account future regional growth.
