Transurban-VDOT Express Lanes Project Enters Final Work Phase
Potomac Local News reports, Virginia DOT is asking passing motorists to exercise caution and patience as the FredEx (I-95 express lanes southern extension) project enters its final construction phase this spring and summer. Transurban, the facility’s concessionaire, and its contractors expect to reach substantial completion and open about ten miles of new tolled, managed lanes by late this year. All work is projected to wrap up in spring 2024. The project includes construction of three new toll lane access points at exits 148, 140 and 133.
