The project expands I-66 to 10 through-travel lanes: three general-purpose lanes both eastbound and westbound, and two HOT lanes in each direction. The Virginia Department of Transportation expects the variable tolling system — similar to those along the 395, 495 and 95 Express Lanes — will help the state to better manage traffic, foster carpooling and public transit use, and give commuters more travel options.
When a driver passes under an overhead gantry, the E-ZPass account will be debited. Drivers will also be able to pay a toll online atThe speed limit in the express lanes is 70 mph, compared with 55 mph to 65 mph at various locations in the general lanes. The new high occupancy toll lanes are the latest addition to the region’s growing network of express lanes, of which more than 70 miles are in Northern Virginia.
I understand that tolls will be variable, but what will the base toll rates be assuming no traffic e.g. middle of the night?
