Vote on Maryland toll lanes will move forward Tuesday

A public-private project to build toll lanes on the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 will take the next step in Maryland’s review process despite a predevelopment agreement being in dispute between the state and a losing bidder. Plans to build express lanes on lower Interstate 270 and part of the Capital Beltway will go before the Maryland Transportation Authority board on Tuesday for a vote that would open a 30-day period of public and legislative review before final approval.
