New Warrenton to Washington Toll Road Aims for 30 Mile Shorter Route
Virginia merchants push a private toll road from Warrenton to Washington to complete a trunk line bypassing Leesburg. The plan uses old Alexandria Warrenton pike, with state takeback and compensation to stockholders. Backers say it will connect Fairfax Warenton and Centreville, offer scenic historic stops, and speed travel to the capital once funded.
