The Virginia Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, will host a public information meeting on June 17, 6:30-8:30 pm at Central Library, 1015 N Quincy St., for the “Transform 66 Inside the Beltway Project.” The project involves converting the existing I-66 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes in both directions during morning and afternoon peak travel periods between I-495 (the Capital Beltway) and U.S. Route 29 in Rosslyn, and a series of multimodal improvements.
Vehicles with three or more people (HOV-3) will travel the lanes for free during peak hours, while vehicles with fewer than three occupants must pay a toll. Toll prices will be based on traffic volume within the corridor.
