The state of Virginia’s I-395/I-95 high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes project can’t get off the ground, and now it is sitting in boiling water.
Just days after Secretary of Transportation Homer Pierce announced that there was a delay in the public-private partnership that would construct three HOT lanes in the middle of the I-395/I-95 corridor due to a failing bond market and other concerns, Arlington (Va.) County filed a lawsuit against the project.
