New Year brings Dulles Toll Road rate increase

By Max Smith

WASHINGTON — It now costs more to use the Dulles Toll Road in Virginia.

With the arrival of the new year, the toll at the main plaza increased from $2.50 to $3.25 and from $1 to $1.50 at ramps.

Dulles Toll Road revenue pays for maintenance and operations of the road, plus about half the construction and financing costs for Metro’s Silver Line.

Raising those funds for the 23-mile line will drive future toll increases. The price to enter and exit the road should increase every few years. It’s the first bump in four years, and the next one is expected in 2023.

The first phase of the Silver Line subway line, from Falls Church through Tysons to Wiehle-Reston East opened in 2014.

The second phase, past Reston Town Center to Dulles International Airport and Ashburn, is currently expected to open in late 2020.

Washington Manassas Airport cleared to offer commercial airline flights

Washington Manassas Airport, formerly known as Manassas Regional Airport, has taken a big step toward its goal of offering passenger service. The airport, which is owned by the city of Manassas, Virginia, received its FAA Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate, a designation required before commercial airlines can begin service. During a ceremony Monday, FAA Associate Administrator Dan Edwards presented a framed version of the certificate to airport leaders.  Edwards said it's "extremely rare" for an existing airport that caters to private flights to clear this hurdle.
