Happy Earth Day +7, Beltway Project will Bulldoze Hundreds of Trees
By robertearl | April 29, 2008
Hundreds of trees along the Capital Beltway will be cut down in preparation for construction of four more toll lanes, officials said yesterday.
The Virginia Department of Transportation said crews have begun clearing brush and trees to make room for construction trailers along the Northern Virginia Beltway at Georgetown Pike, Chain Bridge Road, Interstate 66 and Braddock Road. The staging areas will be used until the project is completed.
Hundreds of trees along the 14-mile project will be cut down, officials said — probably the first impact commuters will see from the project. (washingtonpost.com)
Two public hearings on the project are scheduled for next month. The first will be from 5 to 9 p.m. May 20 at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale; the second, from 5 to 9 p.m. May 21 at Marshall High School in Falls Church.
