The next bridge is at Point of Rocks, MD. There's also White's Ferry to consider. The major issue on the Beltway at the American Legion Bridge is commuters from MD to Tysons, and somewhat less to the Dulles Corridor. People want to live in MoCo but their jobs are in Tysons.

An Outer Beltway *may* help alleviate this scenario, but a much cheaper and effective solution would be to extend the Purple Line from Bethesda to Tysons. Higher capacity, lower overall cost, very little impact on the environment compared with some grandiose idea to build an Outer Beltway.

Here's another idea - punch 28 across then connect that to I-270. Another bridge, but not another Beltway.
