Click on the images below to see conceptual design studies of a four mile long tunnel, connecting Dulles Access Road (267) to I-66, effectively completing a 10 mile long Beltway around Tysons Corner.

I am not an engineer but I have reviewed parts of FHWA guidelines regarding tunnels.  I believe engineering connections between points 1, 2 and 3 (shown below) are possible and paramount.  I would appreciate receiving your personal and professional comments at: info@aimarchitecture.com Thank You.

A:  One 4 mile long under ground Tunnel makes it possible!

By engineering connections between points 1, 2 and 3 above; a 10 mile beltway is possible using the 4 mile Tunnel as shown.

The idea is much more complicated than this, but it deserves a full study.

It also deserves your opinion to overcome a concern more major than just traffic!  Please take the Web Poll.

	Given the above was true: I would live in this home. I would buy this home. I would not sell this home. I would get used to living in this home. I would invest in this home. I would invest in this Tunnel for profit. I would avoid selling this home.

The Capitol Beltway

A Solid; Quiet; Zero Vibration; 25 miles/hour; Passenger-Cars (only) Tunnel, is paying you $10,000/YR in monthly toll charges, for cars traveled, five (5) stories below your basement.

	Although the above could be true: I would not live in this home. I would not buy this home. I would sell this home. I would not get used to living in this home. I would not invest in this home I would not invest in this Tunnel for profit. I am against a Beltway that needs a Tunnel.
