routes have had the most con.
sideration. although there arr
other possibilities.
Seek ''West Leg" Extension
One plan is to extend the
so-called west leg" Of 24O due
south from Montrose road tc
River road. follow River road
to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks and follow the
tracks to the District line near
the Potomac.
The other is TO extend the
240 west leg due south beyond
River road all the way to the
Potomac River near Cabin
John. then to follow the Po-
tomac shore to the District line
in the right-of-way planned for
construction Of the four-lane
George Washington Memorial
Parkway by the National Park
Service.
This latter route originally
was favored by Maryland roads
oflcials. II the National Park
Service would permit the four
lane 240 connection to be built
in the Memorial parkway right
of-way for the short portion
between the District line and
Cabin John. The main differ
ence between the Memorial
parkway and the 240 road is
that trucks would be permitted
on gao. The Park Service has
Istrenuouslv opposed this.
Recently. however. park on
Gals have opposed the use of
any park land for the 240 route.
This raises the prospect that
the park issue may have to be
fought in Congress in order to
build the road at any location.
Park lands are involved in all
routes.
