This morning Potomac Avenue quietly opened for traffic. The new road in Potomac Yard connects Route 1 and Monroe Avenue to Crystal Drive in Crystal City via a re-purposed old railroad bridges over Four Mile Run. The Arlandrian took a tour:
 |
| Turning South onto Potomac Avenue in Crystal City. |
 |
Approaching 33rd Street
|
 |
| At the intersection with South Glebe Road. |
 |
Heading onto the bridge over Four Mile Run into Alexandria with
the view of car heading north confirms it.
(I swear I heard someone complain about the traffic)
|
 |
Looking back north toward Arlington behind the Target.
|
 |
| Work has started to connect the grid. |
 |
At the other end: Potomac Avenue where it connects to
Route 1 and Monroe Avenue (via Main Line Blvd). |
