The state finally committed to those lane extensions and they are officially moving forward with the project. It has been a long and exhausting fight to get them to listen but we succeeded. Keep an eye on the construction progress because we need to make sure they actually follow through …

Hon. Governor & The CTB, Thank you for moving the I-95 rush hour traffic to Stafford. Please get us moving again and add lanes south of Rt. 610
Final supporters
Dear Commonwealth Transportation Board and Governor McAuliffe, did you know?
- On December 14, 2014 when the HOT lanes opened, instantly 44 minutes were added to the weekly Stafford commute of those coming from points south of route 610, exit 143.
- There is currently NO PLAN to extend the HOT lanes or add lanes to I-95 south of mile marker 142.
- On October 16, 2012, The Commissioner of Highways, under Governor McDonnell, wrote that phase two of the I-95 express lanes were a "top priority”. Under the new administration those plans have been scrapped.
- Improvements to the corridor are critical to the continued economic growth and success of the Commonwealth as a whole and to the region it connects.
- I-95 is a critical evacuation route for the Northern Virginia region.
This is a project of National and Statewide Significance.
Make this your top priority and fund the necessary improvements to get our region moving again.

Reaching this level of momentum proves that I am not the only one sitting in this gridlock feeling ignored. It is exhausting to keep pushing for basic infrastructure but your backing keeps me moving forward.

Time lost that I could be with my family due to poor judgment by our leaders, poor quality of life should not be the cost of poor leadership, resolve the issue!
I believe this section of I-95 is the most dangerous part of the corridor. The congestion is unnecessary and harmful to the environment, the economy, and to people's health. End the gridlock; move the express lanes south of Rt 17.
I95 is a disgrace through Stafford/Fredericksburg. Locals can't efficiently use it for daily driving and people and commerce on the whole rastern seaboard are negatively impacted on a daily basis. We should be able to do substantially better than this.
My commute from Quantico to my house has increased from 20 minutes to over an hour in the last 10 years. We don't go north or south on weekends. We need some political will here. That includes Bill Howell who was my supervisor for 30 years.
PLEASE extend the lanes further south! The traffic from Stafford to Fredericksburg is terrible!! It takes me over an hour to go from Garrisonville Road to Route 3.
This traffic is redonkulous. Every. Day, man. Let's do something about it
Please support VRE expansion and more frequent service, we don't want 8 Lanes of 95 all the way to Richmond!

The most frustrating part of the original project is how every commuting citizen foresaw the impending traffic jam at least year before the hot lane project was complete, yet leadership and planners were too afraid to redirect or make changes to the plans. I implore leadership to have the courage to fix what was done incorrectly!
