As folks may or may not know, I live in Alexandria, Virginia, where Maryland
has teamed up with Fairfax County to force through a twelve-lane monstrosity
of a bridge to replace the Woodrow Wilson bridge.  Maryland is also blocking
the concept of a true bypass (why should *all* the traffic going *past* DC
[from Baltimore and points north to Richmond and points south] have to use
the Capital Beltway?).  Neither side is squeaky-clean.
