Excellent. Good to see that at long last the infrastructure is going in
to mitigate the traffic problems in that area.

Has it been decided yet as to whether or not the road will be built to
full Interstate standards, or merely to full freeway standards? I am
curious to know if the route will be I-470 or MD 200...

Here is the Record of Decision (ROD) --

http://iccstudy.org/PDFs/rod_final.pdf

According to the ROD, which is the latter document, it will be a
controlled access highway, which means a freeway, but a search for the
word 'interstate' only finds two occurrences, and neither is in the
context of its design standards or its route designation.

"The Selected Alternative (Corridor 1, as identified on Pages VII-94 to
VII-95 of the Final EIS and depicted in Figure 1 in this ROD) extends
approximately 18 miles from I-370/I-270 near the Shady Grove Metrorail
Station to US 1 between Beltsville and Laurel. Approximately 16 of the
18 miles are located in Montgomery County and approximately two miles
are in Prince George?s County. The Selected Alternative is a controlled
access highway with eight interchanges, located at MD 355, Shady Grove
Metrorail Access/Shady Grove Road, MD 97 (Georgia Avenue), MD 182
(Layhill Road), MD 650 (New Hampshire Avenue), US 29/Briggs Chaney Road,
I-95 and Virginia Manor Road, as well as an at-grade intersection with
US 1".
