A quick-and-dirty comparison of year-to-year traffic volumes for I-66 through Arlington County, derived from annual VDOT traffic volume publications.

Thank the folks at Greater Greater Washington for the reason behind this table.

CAUTION NOTE:  Because of the way VDOT publishes their traffic volumes (with some annual changes due to traffic estimates, some annual changes due to actual traffic counts taken, and in the case of some entries, no changes at all), these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.  That said, they do provide an overall picture of the traffic situation on I-66.
