95 Express Lanes
The 65-kilometre (41-mile) 95 Express Lanes are tolled, reversible lanes operating alongside free lanes on Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia.
Serving Washington DC and its suburbs, the 95 Express Lanes operate between Stafford and Fairfax counties and connect with our 495 Express Lanes.

The lanes were extended 15 kilometres (10 miles) in August 2023, to Fredericksburg, VA.
Completion date
The 95 Express Lanes opened to traffic in December 2014. The Fredericksburg extension opened to traffic in August 2023.
