3. Project Overview Multimodal improvements to 22.5 miles of I-66
Median space reserved for future transit
2 express lanes in each direction from I-495 (Capital Beltway) to Gainesville (University Boulevard)
Improved park and ride options with access to express lanes
Shared use bike and pedestrian trails – integrated with existing trails
3 general purpose lanes in each direction
HOV and transit access to express lanes 3

5. Right of Way
ACTIVITY
To Date
and Beyond
2018
Outreach and letters to impacted landowners – January through June 2018
Appraisals and interviews with property owners
Estimated days between appraisals and offers for properties
Acquisition negotiations
Key objective to minimize right of way impact on communities
200 property owners (commercial and residential) notified of access needs and surveys – March 2017
Initiated one-on-one contact with residential relocation owners – spring 2017
Survey work -- April through September 2017
Design Public Hearing – late fall 2017 5

6. NEPA and Preliminary Design
Noise Analysis Process
Identify noise receptors
Perform noise measurements at representative receptors along the corridor
Perform noise modeling
Identify impacts (is noise mitigation warranted?)
Design and assess mitigation (typically noise walls)
Is the wall feasible?
Is the wall reasonable?
Noise walls were shown in preliminary concept plans in 2015
Show preliminary noise wall locations on updated 2017 design plans
Perform final noise analyses based upon design plans and updated traffic
Publish final noise study results and noise wall locations in 2018
Solicit public input from benefited property owners and renters (voting process)
Incorporate approved noise walls into the final road design construction plans
NEPA and Preliminary Design
FINAL DESIGN 6

7. Noise Walls in Your Community
If your community has a noise wall today, you will have one in the future
Replacement walls will be at same height or higher than existing walls and when a wall is removed work must be continuous until replacement (240 day goal)
Benefitted property owners (or tenants) will be consulted prior to any new walls being installed (voting process) 7

8. Noise Walls Sample Noise Barriers Under Construction
Sample Completed Noise Barriers 8

9. Bicycle and Pedestrian Trails
Shared use trails along I-66 that integrate with County and Park trails
Near homes, the path will be on the I-66 side of the noise wall
Along I-66, concrete barrier with fence will separate the trail from the roadway 9

10. Addressing Visual Aesthetics
Comprehensive Agreement calls for a sensitive approach to address aesthetic considerations and address construction impacts
FAM and I-66 EMP will engage with localities and key stakeholders for input in the corridor aesthetic plan. 10

11. What to Expect During Construction
Construction start-up late 2017 within existing right of way
Construction ramp-up spring 2018
Construction to take place throughout the 22.5 mile corridor for duration of project
No lane closures on I-66 during peak periods
Public will be kept informed through Transform66.org, social media, TV, radio, print media, roadway signage
Provide advance construction information to adjacent communities and address issues of concern – Good Neighbor policy 11

12. I-66 Inside the Beltway Program
Tolling during weekdays, peak hours, peak directions beginning December 2017
Eastbound: 5:30 – 9:30 a.m. and Westbound: 3:00 – 7:00 p.m.
E-ZPass required for all users; E-ZPass Flex if HOV
HOV2 toll-free in 2017, HOV3 toll-free when express lanes open outside Beltway in 2022
Multimodal projects benefitting I-66 users funded by toll revenue
Widening I-66 eastbound between Dulles Connector Road and Fairfax Drive-Exit 71 (approximately 4 miles) – construction begins in 2018 and open in Mid-2020
Clean Special Fuel License Plate drivers traveling alone will need to pay toll unless meeting HOV requirements 12
