Managed Lanes connect to the heart of Washington D. C.
Everything about the 22-mile I-66 Express Lanes project is unique. Its highway-within-a-highway design will help Virginians save time, reduce overall congestion, improve safety and enhance connectivity all while integrating with public transportation. I-66 provides direct connections to Metro bus and rail stations, new park-and-ride lots and urban trails. I-66’s exceptional commitment to the environment and cutting-edge technology has made it a global leader. It will be the first roadway to incorporate AIVIA—Ferrovial’s V2I system for supporting Autonomous Vehicles. It will open to traffic at the end of 2022.

expansion of public transportation
COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
I-66 used the process of rubblization-recycling concrete from the existing highway when building the new one-to minimize the use of trucks, transportation and landfills, reducing the project's carbon footprint by 7 million tons of CO2.
Transformation
8-10 HOURS OF CONGESTION EACH DAY
200,000 VEHICLES PER DAY IN THE CORRIDOR
CONGESTION ON I-66 CAUSES TRAFFIC TO CIRCULATE ON ADJACENT ROADS, AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE COMMUNITY
LIMITED CARPOOLING AND PUBLIC TRANSIT USE ALONG THE CORRIDOR
30-MINUTE TIME SAVINGS AT PEAK HOUR
40% INCREASED IN CAPACITY IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW
A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT IN THE MANAGED LANES HELPS PRESERVE TIME SAVINGS
4,000 NEW PARK-AND-RIDE PARKING SPACES, 18 KILOMETERS OF BICYCLE LANES AND NEW BUS ROUTES
IMPROVED SAFETY
CO2 EMISSION REDUCTION
Pricing freedom
Price adapts in real time every 3 minutes
