Virginia lawmakers consider buying Greenway, backing Dulles Toll Road debt

Virginia lawmakers are considering creative and potentially expensive ways to keep tolls low on two roads they don’t control: the Dulles Greenway and the Dulles Toll Road.

State leaders are now negotiating to buy the privately owned Greenway, a toll road west of Washington Dulles International Airport. And the General Assembly is considering legislation that would allow the state to borrow money through a bond issue to pay for the road’s purchase and upkeep.
