Virginia studies Potomac crossing but doesn't promise bridge

Virginia officials are studying traffic crossing the Potomac River, but they are not promising Washington-area commuters a new bridge between the Old Dominion and Maryland.

“We’re going to take it one step at a time,” Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton told The Washington Examiner. “We are going to be looking at the existing facilities and their ability to handle [traffic], but we’re not going to get into any actual proposals or projects that could actually alleviate [it],” he said.
