The Monticello Freeway was a planned freeway that was a part of the 1969 Northern Virginia Major Thoroughfare Plan.[1] The proposal was to connect Arlington directly to Manassas[2] as an Interstate, hence its name freeway.[citation needed] The plan overall was turned down[3] due to environmental, preservation, and financial issues.[citation needed] Parts of the freeway would have been where Braddock Road is located.[2]
The Freeway
Arlington County
The Monticello Freeway would have begun at another proposed highway as part of the 1969 NOVA Major Thoroughfare Plan. The road would have started at a trumpet interchange at the proposed Four Mile Run Expressway at modern-day Virginia State Route 120. The freeway would have been within the boundaries of Arlington County for about a mile and a half before going into Fairfax County for no more than a fraction of a mile. From there, the freeway would enter the western boundaries of the City of Alexandria.
