  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  
  Maryland Route 200, also known as the Intercounty Connector or ICC, is a controversial toll freeway under construction in Maryland. When completed, it will run between Gaithersburg in Montgomery County and Laurel in Prince George's County. The highway was originally proposed in the 1960s as part of the Washington Outer Beltway. While other parts of the Outer Beltway were canceled, the ICC and the Fairfax County Parkway remained on master plans. The road's long history as an unbuilt proposed road stems from the controversy that has surrounded it over the years.
  
  Proponents of the highway have claimed that it will improve the flow of interregional traffic, relieving traffic congestion on local roads. Opponents of the highway, have claimed that the road will (with a few limited exceptions) harm significant traffic flow characteristics (such as increasing drive times, congestion, and costs in the form of tolls), will negatively harm the environment (with air, sea and land impacts), and will disrupt established communities through which it passes. Many of these assertions against the ICC were rebutted in detail in an appendix of the ICC's Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which stated:
  
  The alternatives proposed in the SMI Report are not capable of meeting the purpose and need identified in the 2005 ICC Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the ICC Study Area. While many of the new transportation services and land use incentives proposed in the Report may be valuable tools for meeting other transportation needs in the region, these measures do not sufficiently meet or address the ICC corridor-level needs, and hence, were not retained for further study in the FEIS.
  
  Fulfilling a 2002 campaign promise, Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich pushed to begin construction of the road and conducted a formal groundbreaking in October 2006. With additional support from his successor, Governor M ...More...
