Soapstone Bridge Over Toll Road To Be Considered in 2012, Give or Take a Few Decades, Restonian, October 18, 2011

Our BFF at Restonian has picked up on a recent Supervisor Hudgins interview we missed in which she suggested the possibility of the beginning of a plan sometime soon to possibly build a bridge extending Soapstone across the Dulles Toll Road.  Here's how he begins:

The idea of extending Soapstone Road across the Toll Road to help alleviate congestion once the Wiehle Avenue Metro station is built has taken a tentative step forward.  In a recent interview, Supervisor Cathy Hudgins said that a Soapstone crossing study is planned for 2012, suggesting at least a concrete start date for a process that could ultimately culminate in a bridge.  Of course, this is from the county that took longer than this blog has been in existence to figure out how to pay for a sidewalk along the existing stretch of Soapstone (now slated to happen sometime in 2013), so we're not exactly holding our breath.
