Why won’t the “Zombie” Potomac Bridge proposal die?

An article in Greater Greater Washington explores the myriad reasons not to build a bridge connecting Montgomery County and Loudoun County. Nick Finio, an NCSG Faculty Research Assistant, and Alex Baca, Engagement Director at Coalition for Smarter Growth, co-wrote this article. With Loudoun County’s population ballooning over the past two decades, the County Board of Supervisors recently voted to endorse two sites for a potential bridge. Measures like this have been proposed time and again in the region, but, researchers argue that more highways will not alleviate traffic. Instead, Finio and Baca recommend Loudoun  focus on growth that embrace it’s new public transit options via the Silver Line.
