Sean Connaughton, Virginia’s Secretary of Transportation has announced that Virginia is scaling back a project to add High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes to I-95/I-395. The lanes will still begin in Stafford County as planned, but they will now end at the Beltway in Fairfax County, well before the Arlington County line. Arlington County officials are celebrating the change and the planned in-depth environmental study which came as a result of a lawsuit filed by the County to prevent the HOT lanes.
