Tolls And HOV Rules Begin On New 66 Express Lanes In NoVA

Tolls now in place on the new western section of the 66 Express Lanes in NoVa.   The 9-mile stretch between Route 29 in Gainesville and Route 28 in Centreville opened on Sept. 10 without tolls so drivers could get familiar with it.  Tolls will vary based on how much traffic is on the road, and how fast it’s moving at any given time. Drivers will see the current price on electronic signs before they choose whether to use the lanes.

In order to use the lanes without paying a toll, you must have at least one passenger in the car to qualify as a HOV. You also must have an E-ZPass Flex set to the “HOV On” mode.  When the last 13 miles of the 66 Express Lanes open, drivers will need to have at least two passengers with them to qualify as a HOV. The between Route 28 and the Capital Beltway is scheduled to open in December.
