VDOT News - Northern Virginia

WHAT:           The public is invited to learn about and provide input on an operations analysis looking at traffic and safety impacts and benefits of converting the I-395 and Seminary Road HOV-only ramp to a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or Express Lanes ramp. This south-facing reversible ramp at Seminary Road falls within the limits of and provides access to the newly-opened I-395 Express Lanes facility and currently operates as an HOV and transit-only ramp.

Transurban, VDOT’s private operator of the 395 Express Lanes, has proposed converting this ramp from HOV to a HOT lanes ramp. The ramp would continue to provide access to the 395 Express Lanes, but would be available to vehicles with fewer than three occupants who pay a toll, and for free to vehicles with three or more occupants.
