About the Project
This project will add one high occupancy vehicle (HOV) and one general purpose lane to I-66 in each direction from just west of Route 15 to just west of Route 29 in Prince William County (about 2.6 miles). This will bringing I-66 to a total of four lanes in each direction through this area (see typical section below), improving traffic flow to and from Haymarket, western Prince William and eastern Fauquier counties.
The project also includes:
- 12-foot paved shoulders
- Reconstruction of two overpasses at Catharpin Road and Old Carolina Road with ten-foot shared-use paths
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) components for managing traffic volumes, improving flow and enhanced incident response
- Overhead sign structures
- Utility relocations
- Storm drainage and storm water management facilities
- Retaining walls, sound barriers and roadway lighting, if necessary
The project will also include related modifications to the existing westbound exit ramp at Route 15.
