New Bridges Would Help Few Commuters
Stop the Outer Beltway
Once again, lobbyists are pushing for an unneeded and wasteful Outer Beltway, seeking to divert scarce tax dollars from the needs of existing commuter roads like I-66 that are choked with traffic. And here’s the thing -- besides costing hundreds of millions of dollars, the Outer Beltway would do nothing to solve our current traffic problems. Instead, it would open new land to sprawling development, adding yet more traffic to existing commuter routes.
Moreover, the proposed Outer Beltway would run through historic land on the western boundary of Manassas National Battlefield, destroying this hallowed landscape, even as our nation honors the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.
Sign the Petition to Stop this Unnecessary Highway
We’ll be working all year to fight against the Outer Beltway and for more financially sustainable transportation solutions – and we need your help. Please sign our petition calling on Governor McDonnell and Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton to protect Manassas Battlefield and stop this unneeded and fiscally irresponsible highway.
