Both the Tri-County Parkway (TCP) and the Manassas Battlefield Bypass studies propose building a major north-south highway either east or west - or more likely on both sides - of Manassas Battlefield. (Links to maps are below)

Ultimately, these roads could connect to a Techway bridge across the Potomac and then to an Inter-County Connector (ICC) in Maryland.

Can we really afford an Outer Beltway?

These proposals would build two pieces of an Outer Beltway, but study after study has shown that these highways would not relieve traffic congestion.  Most traffic moves east-west, not north-south.  These roads will not solve our region's traffic problems - they'll actually make it worse. 

Can we really afford more cars on our roads and more time wasted in traffic?  Our quality of life is at stake!

These roads would also cause irrevocable damage to some of Northern Virginia's most environmentally sensitive areas, pollute our drinking water supply, take away public parkland, and destroy our nation's hallowed ground and historic sites.
