Almost a year after the Intercounty Connector opened, giving drivers another route to Interstate 95, officials say the road is as busy as they expected it to be.

Weekday traffic on the western end of the road, from Interstate 370 to Georgia Avenue, averaged more than 35,000 vehicles in September. On the eastern end, from U.S. 29 to I-95, an average of 26,000 cars drove the road. Those numbers are close to earlier estimates showing 30,000 cars using the ICC daily by June.
