Obama Event Likely to Spawn Traffic Mess
IT'LL BE A MOMENT OF REVELRY for supporters of Sen. Barack Obama, but tonight's rally for the presumptive Democratic nominee at Nissan Pavilion will likely leave a sea of steamed commuters stranded in traffic.
Reports The Post's Eric M. Weiss:
The 25,000-capacity amphitheater is served by a single two-lane road off a chronically jammed commuter highway, Interstate 66, that routinely backs up from 3 p.m. on a typical weekday until long past 6. There is also major construction that could force supporters of the presidential candidate through a bottleneck that brings the four-lane westbound side of the highway down to two lanes.The venue's parking lots will open at 2 p.m., its doors will open at at 3 p.m. and the event will begin at 6 p.m., Weiss reports. Admission is free, but attendees will be admitted on a first-come basis."This sounds like its going to be an absolute disaster," said Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey A. Stewart, a Republican. "Obviously, I have no influence on Barack Obama, but if I did, I would ask him to move the event up a little."
