• Abstract:
  In early 2013, construction began on a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project to install an Active Traffic Management (ATM) system on I-66 from US 29 in Centreville to the Capital Beltway (I-495). Construction was completed in September 2015. This project was intended to improve safety and operations on I-66 without physically expanding the roadway through better management of the existing facility. The main components of the installed system included advisory variable speed limits (AVSL), lane use control signals (LUCS), and hard shoulder running (HSR).
