U.S. Rep. Anthony Brown and Montgomery County Council President Tom Hucker on Monday called for the state to consider more transit options for the Capital Beltway expansion project.
The project includes developing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on I-270 and the Beltway — two of which will be added across the American Legion Bridge to I-270 and north on I-270 to I-370. The construction is in Phase 1 of a larger widening plan for the highways.
