Big missed opportunity to have done this on the original 495 HOT lanes expansion. Though highway corridors aren’t the most pleasant place to ride, they are efficient locations to get where you need to go.

The proposed grade-separated GWMP trail crossing shown on sheets 24 and 24A under the I-495 on-ramp looks pretty cool.

Once they’ve gotten you to sign on to that cool plan VDOT will replace it with flex-posts in the shoulder at the last minute citing “concern from residents”, will offer a 6 inch curb in response to cyclist outrage and then threaten to cancel the entire bike/ped portion of the project.
