Ribbon Cutting of I-66’s Express Lanes in Northern Virginia
Along with the Virginia Department of Transportation, we have hosted the grand opening of the full 22.5 mile I-66’s express lanes at a ribbon cutting ceremony in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.
Transform 66 Outside the Beltway
America’s largest surface transportation public-private partnership to date
Cintra is a member of the I-66 Express Mobility Partners consortium, along with Meridiam and APG. Together, we are investing more than $3.7 billion in Virginia’s infrastructure over the life of this project. This includes the $2.3 billion project construction, a $579 million upfront concession fee to the Commonwealth to fund additional improvement projects in the corridor, $800 million to expand transit service in the corridor and $350 million for other projects to improve the I-66 corridor for 50 years.
The design-build contractor for the project is FAM Construction, a joint venture between Ferrovial Construction and Allan Myers, VA.
Opening Event of the I-66’s Express Lanes
The event highlighted how the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project, the largest public-private partnership infrastructure project in the U.S. this century, has transformed a highly congested corridor into a modern, mutli-modal, sustainable, technology-forward highway.
This project is extremely significant to Ferrovial. It is an example of what we can accomplish when the public and private sectors work together.
