A $2 million study of needed traffic improvements around Fort Belvoir from 22,000 new military jobs has been included in a federal defense spending bill.

Sen. George Allen tacked the amendment onto the 2007 Defense Appropriations Bill to review how last year’s Base Closure and Realignment directives would affect the area’s transportation systems. The BRAC shift mandates a massive relocation of workers to the Fairfax County military base by 2011. The bill has yet to pass the Senate.
