This project will build fourteen miles of new HOT lanes (two in each direction) on I-495 between the Springfield Interchange and just north of the Dulles Toll Road. These HOT lanes will allow the Beltway to offer HOV-3 connections with I-95/395, I-66 and the Dulles Toll Road for the first time. When completed, buses, carpools and vanpools with three or more people, and motorcycles can ride in the new lanes for free. Vehicles carrying two people can either travel for free in the regular lanes, or pay a toll to ride in the HOT lanes. Tolls for the HOT lanes will change according to traffic conditions, which will regulate demand for the lanes and keep them congestion free – even during peak hours. In addition to providing new travel choices, this project will also make a significant contribution to the Beltway's 45-year-old infrastructure, replacing more than 50 aging bridges and overpasses, upgrading 10 interchanges and improving new bike and pedestrian access.





Virginia Megaprojects are a series of large-scale transportation improvements designed to ease congestion and provide you with new, better choices for getting where you need to go. Together, these Megaprojects will not only enhance our interstates, roadways and neighborhoods – they'll completely transform the way we travel in Northern Virginia.
