You are quite right, for some reason I was trying to simplify my directions by
merging them with those already available. To say "right off" I-66 is a little
stretch because of the spacing of the interchanges. But, yes, that is
certainly an option.
Louisiana Constitution Pennsylvania Constitution as I said before, Constitution
Avenue leads straight into I-66 west across the river exit to VA-120 Glebe Road
Left at the top of the ramp (south on Glebe Road) Left onto VA-237 Fairfax
Drive follow instructions as for from Dulles Airport by car.
