The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and its 495 NEXT project partners are continuing to hold drop-in public hours to provide opportunities for the public to interact with project staff individually to learn more and ask questions about the 495 NEXT project. No appointment is necessary. All sessions will have an in-person and virtual option.
The 495 NEXT project is extending the existing 495 Express Lanes north by two-and-a-half miles from the Dulles Corridor interchange to the George Washington Memorial Parkway interchange in the vicinity of the American Legion Bridge. The project is providing new and improved connections at the Dulles Corridor and George Washington Memorial Parkway.
495 NEXT is a public-private partnership project between the Commonwealth of Virginia and Transurban, operator of the existing 495 Express Lanes. Lane Construction is the design-build contractor for the project. The new extended lanes are scheduled to open in 2025.
