Virginia seeks private sector ideas for I-66 corridor
Virginia's governor, Bob McDonnell, announced yesterday that the Office of Transportation Public Private Partnerships, in coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation has launched a Request for Information (RFI) from private sector to transform I-66 from a highly congested corridor to a multi-modal transportation facility.
The project would involve improvements on a 25-mile section of I-66 from U.S. Route 15 in Prince William County to I-495 in Fairfax County. Improvements under consideration would add additional capacity to the road, provide multi-modal options and possibly finance the project through tolled express lanes, similar to the I-495 Express Lanes.
Currently, I-66 corridor improvements are in the environmental review process.
RFI responses are due by November 25, 2013.
