I-66 E-ZPass Express Lanes at Haymarket [Photo: I-66 Mobility Partners]
A Warrenton man found $315 in unexpected charges on his credit card bill after riding the new E-ZPass Express Lanes on Interstate 66.

Philip Sowers told Potomac Local News he and his wife commute in their Buick SUV to work at an office on Fairfax County Parkway. They decided to use the new E-ZPass lanes when the first segment of the tolled lanes opened late last month, from Haymarket to Route 29 in Fairfax.

The only catch: the Sowers' SUV had a luggage rack on top, making the vehicle over seven feet tall. The automated toll booths mistakenly took it for a small commercial vehicle and charged Sowers three times the regular toll rate.

The exit from I-66 East to Route 28 North will be modified by Friday morning, September 2, 2022, changing how drivers from I-66 East access Route 28 North and the Braddock Road/Walney Road exit.

Following this traffic pattern change:

  • Drivers from I-66 East to Route 28 North will use the current flyover ramp to cross over I-66, then stay to the left at a new split and use new roadway to travel under the Braddock Road/Walney Road overpass, then merge with Route 28 North.
  • Drivers from I-66 East to Braddock Road/Walney Road will use the current flyover ramp to cross over I-66, then stay to the right at the new split to join the ramp from Route 28 North to Braddock Road/Walney Road.
  • Drivers from Route 28 North to Braddock Road/Walney Road will continue to stay to the left over I-66 and use the current left exit to Braddock Road/Walney Road.
  • Drivers through the area on Route 28 North should be alert for vehicles merging from the left north of the Braddock Road/Walney Road overpass.

This will be the permanent movement for this ramp as part of the reconstruction of the I-66/Route 28 Interchange for the Transform 66 Outside of the Beltway Project, which is adding E-ZPass Express lanes to the highway between Haymarket and I-495.
