Originally built as 4 lanes except for 8.5 miles from US Route 50 to D.C., which were built as 6 lanes when opened

1993- Fourth, shoulder use lane added between US Route 50 and I-495

1994- New interchange added at Route 286/

1997- Widened from 4 to 8 lanes for 18 miles from US Route 50 to just west of Route 234 in Manassas

1998- New interchange added at Route 234 Bypass/

2006- Widened from 4 to 8 lanes from Sudley Road (Route 234 Business) to west of Prince William Parkway (Route 234 Bypass)

2006 - 2012- Additional interchange improvements and congestion reducation projects implemented The Need to Transform I-66 Today

. 8-10 hours of daily congestion • 160,000+ vpd in Segment 1 • 180,000+ vpd in Segment 2 • 200,000+ vpd in Segment 3 . Overflow traffic on parallel and feeder roads . Limited carpool culture . Limited transit options Transforming I-66 2022

. Congestion relieved on all lanes . Faster transit through Express Lanes (70 mph) . Move 2,000 to 4,000 more people per hour . New buses and transit routes . 4,000 new park and ride spaces . Improved safety Project Delivery Public-Private Partnership

I-66 Express Mobility Partners (EMP) is VDOT’s partner: • Contract with VDOT to Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project • Best value for Virginia: EMP had the highest technical score for its design and the lowest cost for the project • EMP will operate the Express Lanes for 50 years • Over $3 billion of transportation improvements delivered to the I-66 corridor Project Team

Project oversight, Public outreach

Concessionaire: Long-term agreement to finance, operate and maintain the I-66 Express Lanes. I-66 EMP is a consortium between Cintra, Meridiam, John Laing and APG.

• Inner department coordination is a must. The success of the project is dependent upon a Collaborative Approach.

• Opportunities for learning new construction techniques and management styles. The FAM team is made up of individuals from around the globe, allowing you a great opportunity for personal and professional growth, along with a great opportunity to expand your construction knowledge base.

• A Mega-Project provides new opportunity for innovation, creativity, and process improvement simply because every aspect of the project is increased by many times the normal. From meeting space, to material tracking, to summary reporting, everything is expanded and needs new processes to handle the requirements. Project Overview

18 Project Roadmap

Starting Spring 2018 ROW Acquisition December 2017 Early Construction Summer 2019 Spring 2018 Park and Ride Milestone December 2022 Activity Construction (960 Spaces near Gainesville) Express Lanes Open Ramp Up Today

November 2017 Summer 2020 Design Public Early 2019 Route 28 Signalization Hearing Results of Noise, (Begin Phased Removal of 4 Traffic Environmental, and Traffic Signals from Route 28) Analyses Noise, Traffic, and Environmental Analysis Process Early 2019

• Based on design plans & updated traffic studies - Is the wall feasible? - Is the wall reasonable?

Final • Publish final noise study results and noise wall locations in early 2019

Noise Analysis • Solicit input from benefited property owners & renters (voting process for new walls) • Include approved noise walls into final plans

• Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) completed in June 2016 documented the Preferred Alternative design • Project design changes undergoing environmental re-evaluation • Results of the traffic and environmental reevaluations and the Final Design Noise Environmental Final Traffic Final Traffic and Analysis will be posted to Transform66.org (early 2019) Right of Way Process Currently Underway

• 200+ property owners (commercial and residential) notified of access needs and surveys • Begin outreach and letters to impacted landowners Activity To Date • Begin appraisals and interviews with property owners

• Continue outreach and letters to impacted landowners – ongoing • Continue appraisals and interviews with property owners • Estimated 75-90 days between appraisals and offers for properties • Acquisition negotiations Next Steps

266 Acquisitions - 9 Residential Relocations Continuing Design Activities

• Continued WMATA coordination • Storm water management and drainage • Corridor Shared Use Path • Design changes to Express Access Ramps in Manassas/ Sudley Rd area as result of Section 106 Coordination with Manassas National Battlefield Park • Considering design alternative within existing footprint at Nutley interchange Bicycle and Pedestrian Trails

• 11 miles of shared use path (SUP) along I-66 that integrate with exiting and planned County and Park trails • 11 bridges with additional bicycle and pedestrian facilities • Near homes, the SUP will be on the I-66 side of the noise wall • Improved separation between the trail and the highway continues to be explored • Along I-66, 50-inch concrete barrier without fence will separate the trail from the roadway Manassas/ Sudley Road Express Ramps

24 Manassas/ Sudley Road Express Ramps

• Design changed developed out of Section 106 coordination with Manassas National Battlefield Park (MNBP) • MNBP had view shed concerns with location of express ramps in earlier design • New ramps shifted to least viewable areas from key Park vantage (Portici site) • EB mainline slip ramp prior to Sudley Road added to capture traffic from the west • EB Express Access Ramp only accessible from Sudley Road

25 Nutley Street Interchange Design Alternative

• Currently looking at design alternative to improve movement and traffic flow on Nutley Street • Alternative design utilizes two roundabouts (‘Dog Bone’) Nutley Interchange “Dog Bone” Design Alternative vs. Diverging Diamond

• Improves traffic flow on Nutley Street compared to Diverging Diamond concept • Eliminates the new traffic signals needed for Diverging Diamond • Reduces pedestrian/vehicle conflict points • Provides grade separated shared use path to the south • Reduces right of way and WMATA impacts • Reduces interchange foot print • Could accommodate a westbound Express Lane exit to Nutley Street What to Expect During Construction

Construction to take place throughout the 22.5 mile corridor for duration of project:

• All 4 existing lanes must be kept open during peak traffic hours

• Mass Excavation (over 4,000,000 CY)

• Installation of over 2,000,000 SF of Retaining Walls

• Multiple New Bridges and Bridge Widenings

• Over 225 lane miles of new Roadway and Overlay

• New and Existing Utility relocations Questions
