Officials reconsider opposition to widening I-66

Key local officials Monday reversed their stance in favor of delaying construction on Interstate 66, making it more likely that the controversial project will proceed.

Fairfax County Supervisors Catherine Hudgins and Lynda Smyth, who initially helped knock the project off its timetable, said in a joint statement with Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova that they had agreed to reconsider their position.
