395 Express Lanes

The express version

  • The 395 Express Lanes are open and offer drivers more ways to travel in Northern Virginia right up to the Washington, D.C. line
  • Get your E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex and take the Lanes today
  • Construction work for sound walls, punchlist activities and to add a fourth regular southbound travel lane on I-395 between Duke Street and Edsall Road will continue into spring 2020

Whatever your traveling style may be, the 395 Express Lanes are sure to speed up your trip.

While the Lanes are open for customers, construction work for sound walls, punchlist activities and to add a fourth regular southbound travel lane on I-395 between Duke Street and Edsall Road will continue on the corridor into spring 2020. Road closures during off-peak or overnight periods will allow crews to finish the job.

Pentagon updates

The 395 Express Lanes and Eads Street Interchange offer employees and visitors a simpler way to drive to and from the Pentagon. Not to mention, the improved South Parking Lot is delivering smoother travel for pedestrians, drivers or bus riders on the Pentagon Reservation.

We’ve been up to a lot around the Pentagon Reservation over the last couple of years. Stay in the know about the latest progress and updates we’re making around the Pentagon Reservation on the News & Alerts page. We’ve also been up to a lot around the Pentagon Reservation over the last several years. You can find older updates by visiting our past announcements, too.

Department of Defense employees can head over to the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Transportation CAC-enabled website for the scoop on how this project may affect parking and transportation on the Pentagon Reservation.
