Virginia HOT lanes


Virginia HO/T lanes refers to five separate projects in the U.S. state of Virginia. The first project, completed in November 2012, has added high-occupancy/toll (HO/T) lanes to the Capital Beltway (I-495) in Fairfax County. The second project, opened to the public in December 2014, involved converting and extending the existing reversible high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-95 and I-395 to HO/T lanes from Stafford to near Alexandria. The third project, currently under construction (as of December 2016), will convert the existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes inside the beltway on Interstate 66 to HO/T lanes. The fourth project will convert the existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane outside the beltway on Interstate 66 and add a second lane to HO/T lanes. The fifth project will convert the existing reversible high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-395 to HO/T lanes from near Alexandria to Washington, DC.

The 495 Express Lanes, also known as the E-ZPass Express Lanes, are a 14-mile segment of I-495 extending from the Springfield Interchange to a point north of the Dulles Toll Road. The project began when Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) signed an agreement with Fluor Corporation and Transurban in April 2005 to create HO/T lanes between Springfield and Georgetown Pike. A contract was finalized on December 20, 2007, and construction began in the summer of 2008.
