WTOP News reports, ‘Two private bids to build and operate toll lanes on Interstate 66 outside the Capital Beltway appear to meet Virginia’s terms to limit state subsidies for the lanes, the state’s transportation secretary said in an interview. The bid deadline had been extended twice, but Aubrey Layne told WTOP [on October 18] that the two interested teams submitted bids in time that include creative alternative designs — which, in some cases, could reduce costs.” Layne expects the preferred bid to be announced sometime next month.
