But that still doesn't ease the traffic where the two roads (airport express part of the toll road and the local part of the toll road) merge about a mile before the 66 East interchange.. its at this point where the traffic comes to a grinding halt... and the ride becomes pure misery all the way into the district.

The bus to the metro stop has a shoulder lane to use if traffic is bad. In a cab even on a Friday, at 7:30 there is still congestion but it is not horrible. My guess is that it will slow for a couple of miles between the merge of the toll road and I66 to the Ballston exit.
