VDOT wants to transform I-66 corridor, plans public meetings

Transportation officials in Virginia say they can improve Interstate 66.

The idea is to make a 25-mile stretch of the highway between Haymarket and the Capital Beltway a multi-modal corridor. This means adding express toll lanes like the I-95 E-ZPass Express Lanes that opened last month and new high-frequency bus service to the corridor.

Some key interchanges along the highway also need to be reevaluated to improve transportation along the corridor.

Now, officials plan a series of public meetings to solicit feedback on the roadway project. The meeting locations listed below: 

Monday, Jan. 26, 2015

Oakton High School

2900 Sutton Road, Vienna, VA 22181

Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015

Bull Run Elementary School

15301 Lee Highway, Centreville, VA 20121

Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015

Battlefield High School

15000 Graduation Drive, Haymarket, VA 20169

Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015

VDOT Northern Virginia District, 1st Floor, Occoquan Room

4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030

Each meeting will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. A brief presentation will be held at 7 p.m. during each meeting, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
