Northern Virginia delegates praised the Thursday announcement from the Virginia Department of Transportation that plans for High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes on I-395 have been scrapped.

“It makes much more sense to terminate the HOT lanes at the Beltway – where traffic can be disbursed in a number of directions – rather than backing up traffic on 395,” said Del. Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria.
