Long overdue.
Even on Saturdays and Sundays that is jammed up (70E to 695 North), I can imagine what its like every weekday rush hours commute.
Yes it is bad.
To ease backups around the topside of the beltway to Route 43, shoulders will become travel lanes.
That sounds like a good idea except for that if there is a breakdown or accident, with no shoulder, were is someone to pull over to?
