Jerry Kilgore has continued promising to widen Interstate 66 inside the Beltway. Both The Post and the DCist did a fine job of discussing the history of the highway and the difficulties with this expansion but only the post mentioned the impact on the Custis Bike Trail and even then, not by name.
A biking and walking trail along the interstate also would have to be adjusted.
Not to seem cynical, but something tells me that between now and the completion of the expansion - for which $27 million has already been appropriated - the Custis Trail will end up being discarded, much like the bike trail that was originally to accompany the Inter-county Connector in Maryland.
Tim Kaine, Kilgore's opponent, hasn't said anything specifically about his plans for I-66 within the beltway.
