[edit] Name change

Holly Knoll Drive (Rt 6220) to Algonkian Parkway, approved 7/10/06 by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Minutes are here. Search for "Holly Knoll" or "Algonkian Parkway". Although they do call Rte 7 "Lee Highway" but that's not right at all, so nevermind that. --MPD T / C 08:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References needed for the following

I haven't found anything yet that specifically states that Virginia acquired land for the Outer Beltway. Could the corridor have been kept free by Reston's master plan? Probably not, since Reston doesn't go that far south. --NE2 05:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The following opening dates should be narrowed down if possible:

  • I-66 to US 50
  • Stringfellow to Franklin Farm
  • Rolling to Pohick
  • Lee Chapel to SR 123
  • US 1 to Telegraph
  • Telegraph to Fullerton
  • Sugarland to SR 7

Some or all may be in the article "After 16 years, $620 million, parkway finally earns its name" from the Centreville Times, November 8, 2001. Can somebody in the area check it out? --NE2 22:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] State routes need to be changed to county routes.

All references need to be changed to county route. This is not a state maintained road.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Compctech (talkcontribs)

No, it's a secondary road, and is state-maintained. Virginia has no county roads. And please sign your comments. --MPD T / C 01:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
