MEGAPROJECTS 495 Express Lanes Northern Extension In June 2021, VDOT received approvals from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and National Park Service (NPS) on its environmental assessment for the 495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) project, moving the project forward to the design and construction phase. Additionally, VDOT received approval from FHWA on the project’s interchange justification report, a traffic study that includes analysis of traffic impacts and benefits associated with the 495 NEXT project. The 495 NEXT project includes: • Building an approximately two-mile extension of the 495 Express Lanes from near the Dulles Toll Road to the George Washington Memorial Parkway • Creating additional express lanes access at the Dulles Toll Road and Dulles Access Road interchange, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway interchange. • Constructing new bridges to replace existing I-495 crossings with sidewalks and trail crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists • Adding more than two miles of new and improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities including a path that is parallel to I-495 • Accommodations for extensions to tie into a future, new American Legion Bridge. VDOT is working with Transurban under a framework agreement that was signed in January 2019. A commercial close is expected in fall 2021, with Transurban responsible for the project’s financing, design, construction, and maintenance. Construction is expected to begin in 2022, with the express lanes extension expected to open in 2025. Route 28 Corridor March 2021 was the culmination of almost 20 years of improvements to the Route 28 corridor, a critical north-south transportation link in northern Virginia. Efforts included: • Improving 13 interchanges and three parallel roadways including Loudoun County Parkway, Centreville Road, and Pacific Boulevard • Widening Route 28 between I-66 and Route 7 • Removing 17 traffic signals on Route 28 resulted in a ‘signal free’ roadway from Route 7 in Loudoun County all the way to the Route 29 interchange in Fairfax County. Route 28 corridor improvements, totaling $536 million, were made possible through a partnership with the Route 28 Tax District, Fairfax and Loudoun counties, Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
