Highway 200

I met Carol halfway, at Magruder High School, to hand off the book we are reading this summer in our Olney quilting group. On the drive out, I saw the long, long lines of cars headed in the other direction.
Handoff completed, I decided to take the "Needwood Cutoff". That would take me on the hypotenuse of the Muncaster Mill/Shady Grove triangle, but it was a winding, two lane road through woods by the city golf course, I would ordinarily skip. Still I figured it was better than sitting behind red lights.
Fifty feet into the trees, I was on an overpass that hadn't been there before! The Midcounty Connector cuts through right here and now goes under Needwood! The size is amazing. I stopped the car and walked back to take a picture. Where did they put all the dirt from this excavation? Check out http://www.iccproject.com/
