After two years of delays, crews are in the final stages of construction on a $63.7 million project to broaden a 1.6-mile section of U.S. 90 in Broussard to make it part of the future I-49 corridor between Lafayette and New Orleans.

The approval of a project called Embark Richmond Highway in Fairfax County, Va. will result in a major makeover of the U.S. Route 1 corridor near Mt. Vernon.

An eight-mile widening of the West Virginia Turnpike near Beckley will be the first project to receive funding from the $1.6 billion bond program approved in a November 2016 referendum.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) rolled out $461 million in traffic-relief projects for the Baltimore area. 

Delays in approvals for a federal low-interest loan will require the Virginia Dept. of Transportation to spend another $9 million on preliminary work for the I-66 toll lanes project. VDOT already was set to loan $30 million to Express Mobility Partners.

More than 900 West Virginia highway and bridge projects are in line to receive funding from a $1.6 billion bond proposal that goes before the state’s voters on October 7. The bonds are part of a $2.8 billion transportation funding initiative proposed earlier this year by Gov. Jim Justice (R).
