NOR, Norfolk, VA –
The Interstate 64 express lanes tolling began on Jan. 10. Motorists will need an E-ZPass or an E-ZPass Flex during operating hours.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will begin tolling the 64 Express Lanes the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 10. During operating hours, 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. westbound and 2:00 p.m.to 6:00 p.m. eastbound Monday through Friday, motorists will need an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex to access the 8.4-mile stretch of Reversible Roadway between the I-264 Interchange and I-564. Outside of operating hours, the lanes will remain free and open to all motorists.
During operating hours, motorists who wish to ride toll-free must meet the HOV-2+ (High Occupancy Vehicle) requirement and have an E-ZPass Flex transponder switched to “HOV ON”. To pay the variable toll during operating hours, solo drivers may use a standard E-ZPass transponder or an E-ZPass Flex with “HOV ON” covered.
Motorists interested in exchanging their standard E-ZPass transponder for an E-ZPass Flex may visit www.EZPassVA.com, call the toll-free number at 877-762-7824 or visit an E-ZPass Customer Service Center. The exchange is free. Motorists may also obtain a new E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex device at one of our E-ZPass On-the-Go retailers, the locations of which are also available at www.EZPassVA.com. Please note that transponder exchanges are not available at the On-the-Go retailers.
