| Fluor begins construction on Virginia HOT Lanes Fluor Corporation and Transurban (USA), Inc. announced that they formally broke ground on the new Capital Beltway High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes project on Interstate 495 in northern Virginia. With the highly traveled Beltway as the backdrop of the groundbreaking event, Virginia Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer and other federal, state and local leaders met today in Tysons Corner, Va., to symbolically break ground on the $1.4 billion public-private transportation project that will bring congestion relief and new travel choices to the I-495/Capital Beltway in Virginia. Once complete, the HOT Lanes will be free to vehicles carrying three or more persons, as well as buses, motorcycles and emergency response vehicles. Motorists will have the option to use the HOT Lanes, paying a variably priced toll (depending on levels of congestion), or ride for free in the existing lanes. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
