Signs for I-495 Express Lanes Unveiled

New Signs for HOT Lanes in No. Va Now On Display

We're getting our first look at what the signs will look like for the new high-occupancy toll lanes being built on the Capital Beltway in northern Virginia -- and they aren't being called HOT lanes.

The signs will include the E-ZPass logo and also contain the word "Express" to help drivers make the connection that the new lanes are part of the project that has now been named the 495 Express Lanes project.

The signs will clearly show that an E-ZPass is required to use the lanes and that tolls will be charged based on the distance traveled.

Once complete, the 495 Express Lanes will run from the Mixing Bowl to just north of the Dulles Toll Road.
