About us

The Commonwealth of Virginia selected a Cintra-led consortium to finance, design, build, operate, and maintain express lanes on Interstate 66 Outside the Beltway. The project aims to relieve congestion, improve safety, and provide more predictable travel times. The project corridor extends approximately 22 miles along Interstate 66 from the Capital Beltway (I-495) to Gainesville (US Route 29).

The project includes three toll-free general-purpose lanes in each direction and two express lanes in each direction with an advanced open-road electronic toll collection system. It also features expanded transit service, park-and-ride lots, and interchange enhancements, connecting several shared use paths to enhance multimodal options. As an innovative and efficient public-private partnership, the project will save the Commonwealth of Virginia $2.5 billion net compared to traditional methods.
