Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has announced a $9-billion plan to add toll lanes to three major highways in the area between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., using a public-private partnership to carry out $7.6 billion worth of the work.
The proposal, which Hogan unveiled on Sept. 21, calls for adding four new express toll lanes to the 42-mile Maryland stretch of the Capital Beltway, or I-495; Interstate 270, which runs from the beltway through the northwestern suburbs of Washington, D.C.; and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, or Maryland Route 295.
