Looks like Fairfax county loses on this on this one again. Glad to see McDonnell is keeping spending under control.
The six-year program funding breakdown, including additional funding for Hampton Roads is below:
Highways and bridges - $11.1 billion ($2.1 billion increase)
Rail and public transportation - $3.0 billion ($0.6 billion increase)
Hampton Roads transportation fund - $1.3 billion (new funding for transportation improvements in the Hampton Roads region)
Total: $15.4 billion ($4.0 billion increase)
HB 2313 also established a new transportation revenue source for Northern Virginia, which is $1.9 billion over six years. This amount is not reflected in the draft six-year program because it will be allocated regionally through the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority Fund.
Below is a partial listing of high priority projects that the new funding makes possible:
Statewide
Pavement and bridge rehabilitation
Smart roadway technology
Northern Virginia
Funding to advance the Metro Silver Line and help reduce tolls on the Dulles Toll Road
I-66/Route 28 interchange improvements
Route 606 Dulles loop
Fredericksburg
I-95/Route 17 improvements over the Rappahannock River
Route 630 interchange relocation
Hampton Roads
Increased intercity passenger rail service between Norfolk, Petersburg, and Richmond
I-64 widening from Newport News to Williamsburg
Route 165 widening (Military Highway) in Norfolk
Richmond
Rail improvements between Petersburg, Richmond, and Washington, DC
I-95/I-64 overlap safety improvements
Lewistown Road bridge replacement
Culpeper, Shenandoah Valley and southwestern Virginia

Route 29/Route 666 interchange improvement in the Culpeper region
I-81 bridge replacement over the New River in Salem region
Route 340 bridge replacement in Staunton region
Greenview Drive widening in Lynchburg region
