Drivers Worry DC Beltway HOT Lanes Will Increase Congestion Near Potomac River
I noticed during Monday’s online chat that many travelers were writing to ask practical questions about the uses of the 495 Express Lanes, the high occupancy vehicle lanes scheduled to open by the end of the year. I’ll try to post several of your concerns this week, starting with this question about whether the northern part of the system is useful at all.
Bridge Work Continues On Virginia I-95 This Week
RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) – If you use 95 North or South through the city you could run into major delays due to bridge work. Crews will be on scene from 8pm to 6am this week at the Boulevard. Some nights only one travel lane could be open in each direction. Use caution around mile marker 78. Crews may shut down the exits in that area as well. You can use 195 or 295 as an alternate. Here’s all the details:
Plans Move Ahead on I-95 Tolls in Virginia
VDOT members met earlier this month to discuss their plans to move on a toll project to fund improvements to the I-95 corridor. The plan would charge drivers a toll along the interstate between mile marker 126 (just south of Fredericksburg) to the North Carolina state line. VDOT released their findings on the state of this corridor and stated that 80% of the bridges on I-95 are over 40 years old, 72% of the pavement is in need of maintenance, and that by 2035, travel time is projected to increase by 40%! To remedy these problems over the next 25 years, VDOT projects costs would equal around $12.1 billion. Looking at the revenue per lane mile for transportation construction in Virginia, we’re running out of funding for these projects, and this is why these tolls have been proposed.
VDOT estimates the toll program could raise $50 million a year in revenue. If an agreement is reached, the tolls would be up and running in over a year from now.
The revenue from these tolls will be used to make pavement, structural, operational, capacity and safety improvements throughout the corridor. These funds cannot be used outside of I-95.
You can find more information about the project athttp://www.virginiadot.org/projects/i-95_corridor_improvement.asp.
