Ahead of the snow, toll for Express Lanes in Virginia rises over $30 during evening rush hour

WASHINGTON - We all know traffic in the D.C. region can be a trying experience with long commutes and delays, especially with precipitation falling in the area. But as the first snowfall arrived in the D.C. region Thursday evening, commuters driving during the evening rush hour in Northern Virginia found using the Express Lanes would be very costly.

A FOX 5 staff member driving on Interstate 495 found a sign showing the toll for the Express Lanes starting from nearby the Tysons Corner area to the I-395/95 exit would cost a whopping $30! Using the lanes to I-66 would be just shy of $10.

That's when i stop my car in the center 'll and and put it in park. While listening to the crashing noises in the background, I'll be waiting for the price to be reduced. I have another 29 years to live and a couple of sandwiches.

If a gas station did the same thing with prices, they'd be shut down and fined.
