Washington-bound drivers paid an average of $6.10 to ride the new toll lanes from Gainesville to Centreville. Tolls topped $6.50 at the peak of the commute, officials said.
The rates on the first morning commute since tolling went into effect on the new section of express lanes outside the Beltway appeared to be slightly lower than those on the 66 Express Lanes inside the Beltway. About 8:30 a.m. Monday, drivers were paying $9.50 to drive from the Beltway to Washington, roughly 10 miles.
Nancy H. Smith, a spokeswoman for I-66 Express Mobility Partners — a consortium of investors that will maintain and operate the toll lanes under a 50-year concession — said Monday that during the early days of tolling, rates will stay unchanged for at least 30 minutes at a time.“As the system adjusts to live traffic conditions, the time period between changes in toll rates will decrease,” she said.
Solo drivers will be charged a toll to use the lanes, but carpools with at least one passenger can ride free with an E-ZPass Flex set to “HOV” mode. When express lanes open throughout the corridor later this year, a vehicle will need three occupants to ride free.
