Australia-based 600 Transurban and the 1747 Virginia Department of Transportation have announced extensions to the I-95 and I-395 in Northern Virginia.

The 395 Express Lanes project will convert the existing two I-395 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes into three Express Lanes and extend the current dynamic tolling and traffic management system. It also involves an extension to the 95 Express Lanes for 11 kilometres north to the Washington DC border.

Transurban has also announced an in-principle agreement VDOT to extend the 95 Express Lanes by approximately three kilometres south of the existing southern end. The reversible extension will serve customers in both the north and southbound directions.

Transurban CEO Scott Charlton said, “The 395 Express Lanes would significantly reduce congestion in the I-395 corridor and increase capacity by adding an additional HOV lane to make three reversible lanes on I-395. By extending the 95 Express Lanes to the south and adding a new entry point, drivers will enjoy improved travel on both the regular and Express Lanes.”
