The Federal Highway Administration issued a Record of Decision on June 29, 2006 for the Capital Beltway project in Virginia. The project, which extends approximately 14 mikes from I-95/I-395/I-495 interchange to the American Legion Bridge, will widen the Beltway by two lanes per direction and operate those lanes as HOV/HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes. The project will now move forward into the design phase.
