Commuter Buzz: "We're the second-largest region in the state by population and we had a
year in which there's no interstate funding—I just didn't want to set that precedent," Aubrey
Layne told the Virginian-Pilot in December 2009, after securing a $7.7 million in state funds
for updates to the I-64/264 interchange.

year in which there's no interstate funding"

Re: America's 75 Worst Commutes
I dread every Friday afternoon when I leave work at Falls Church and hike down to Virginia Beach it takes 2-4 hours just to get passed Fredericksburg a lot of the time. I remember the last time I drove up to Connecticut and made it in about 6 hours from DC, I was pissed because a few weeks earlier it had taken me nearly 8 hours to get to the Beach. I have been a city boy mostly all my life, but after living in DC and traveling nearly every weekend to the Beach I am ready to live out in the country for a bit. I hope when I get my orders its for like Cherry Point or something.
