Pretty much as expected during a holiday week, traffic was light Monday on the new 95 Express Lanes, their first day charging folks who choose to go faster (the new lanes had been free in their debut weeks).
WTOP reports that Transurban, which operates the toll lanes, is noting it will take a few weeks before it figures out what “normal traffic” will be like on the 29-mile reversible road.
“We think this week traffic volumes will remain pretty light especially with the holiday in the middle of the week,” Transurban spokesman Mark McGurk told WTOP.
Likely choke points? Where the lanes end, on Duke Street by Interstate 395 and in Stafford County.
Virginia State Police Capt. James DeFord, the commander for Northern Virginia, tells WTOP there will be extra patrols posted at end points in Stafford in the afternoon and in the morning north of Edsall Road.
