“The projection made for this was for 46,000 daily vehicles by the year 2000, and the latest VDOT projections for 2030 are close to three to four times that number. The lack of sufficient noise mitigation was a factor of those low projections in 1982. The FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] did erect a short wooden fence, but VDOT labeled this a privacy screen, not a noise barrier.”
