The Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project, scheduled to be completed late 2022, is an expansion of the current highway that will provide new travel choices for drivers and hopefully congestion relief from the Capital Beltway (I-495) to Gainesville for a 22.5 mile stretch. This 22.5 mile stretch of I-66 will go through both Fairfax County and Prince William County. VDOT had team members from the project reach out through a phone survey for a random selection of 3,500 residents from both Fairfax County and Prince William County. One question asked on the survey was “Do you feel that the new I-66 Express Lanes will bring congestion relief?” Of the Fairfax County residents surveyed, 1,642 agreed they thought that the expansion will bring congestion relief while only 1,576 of the Prince William County residents surveyed agreed with the statement.
