What changes are happening on I-66?

I-66 is traditionally known for its heavy traffic; however, Virginia’s Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to transform I-66 both inside and outside of the beltway with dynamic tolls.

The stretch of interstate from Exit 64 in Fairfax County to Exit 72 in Arlington County is defined as inside the Beltway and will now operate strictly as express lanes with a toll during peak travel hours Monday through Friday. Outside of tolling hours, entry to the express lanes will be free. More information
