Most Marylanders oppose it because the idea of turning that area into the Hellscape that is the Leesburg-Tysons corridor fills them with revulsion.

I would think the solution to that concern would be to run it from the bridge to 270 or Germantown or where ever without any exits and leave the Agricultural Preserve land-use restrictions in place. The huge number of Marylanders commuting to/from Virginia would still reap significant benefits and the effects of the highway would be limited to a narrow corridor within earshot.

Not to mention that making whatever transitway is built as part of the route nonstop for a significant chunk of the route would make the travel times even more attractive as a car alternative.
