Headaches on the horizon
Beltway/Telegraph Road Work that began this weekend marks a significant new phase in reconstruction of the Capital Beltway's Telegraph Road interchange, part of the Wilson Bridge project. Commuters will need to be extra alert for a new traffic pattern through the interchange area. The outer loop exit to Telegraph Road north is being rerouted, and ramps for the inner loop are being realigned. This will allow workers to complete the ramps and replace portions of old Beltway bridges during the 2010 construction season.

The bill makes it illegal for people to produce and use a fraudulent or counterfeit ticket on the commuter train service. Violators can be fined $500 or more and could face jail time. Riders who don't validate a ticket before boarding or ride out of the ticket's designated zone could face a civil infraction and be fined no more than $100. VRE officials said they needed a new bill because existing policy makes it hard for VRE...
