The outer beltway is one of those ridiculous ideas that people driving on the beltway love because it's gonna get "everybody else" out of their way on the beltway. They think "well I won't use it because it doesn't fit my commute but all these other jokers will be gone!"

Problem is it won't work because very few people are making commutes that will be helped by an outer beltway. Few people make those commutes specifically because it's not easy to do so! You don't choose to live in Gaithersburg and further out if you are going to commute to the Dulles Corridor and vice versa.

If you want to get traffic off the beltway build Metro or light rail connecting Tysons with Bethesda and Silver Spring, instead of just enabling inefficient sprawl.
