Can't Get There From Here

Recently I made reference to the "Can't Get There From Here" highway project down around the I-66 interchanges with routes 28 and 29 in Centreville. The reason for the moniker is that, when the project is finished, you won't be able to Get There From Here. Here is a link to the story I saw about a month ago about it (and here's a direct link to the aerial picture therefrom showing overlays of the intended median at Braddock and Walney Roads).

( Some more details on the first part )

But the second part is the part the screws over me, my entire neighborhood, most of the surrounding developments, and a lot of folks who work in the business park nearby. We have always used Walney Road (which was once Centreville Road, and went straight to the heart of Centreville before I-66 went in) to get to I-66 and to VA-28 south towards Manassas. Now, we won't be able to. ( More details... )

I've friends-locked this post because it's a bit too ranty... but this is just one more reason I intend to leave the FedroSplat before long.
