Closure and Bolling swaps are nothing but rumors---the words and dollars are flying fast and furious both on the Hill and in Arlington Co to get that airport open and soon.
The FAA and national capitol airports authority both insist there are no plans to keep DCA closed forever...and you'd be hard pressed to find anything in writing from the real power brokers in official Washington that supports closure. And that includes security and defense folks. No one (today) is willing to go on record and say it.

As for alternatives, even transit loving Post columnist Bob Levey has admitted there's no easy way to get to Dulles or BWI.
