Maryland has enough money to build a proposed multibillion dollar freeway, but only at the expense of dozens of other projects around the state that would have to be cut.
Marylands elected officials are dedicated to the construction of the ICC, a controversial new highway that would link the prosperous suburbs northwest of Washington with Baltimore and the I-95 corridor. The mounting costs of the proposed road, already nearly two and half billion dollars for less than 20 miles of highway, have some wondering where the money for other needed construction projects both road and transit - will come from, and what they should do if their choice is to build the ICC and nothing else, or to build everything except the ICC.
