ExpressLanes

ExpressLanes puts toll lane travel planning at your fingertips. Navigate I-495, I-95, and I-395 in Northern Virginia with real-time pricing, live traffic visibility, and toll management — all from your phone.

Commuters and occasional travelers alike benefit from knowing exactly what to expect before hitting the road. Check current toll prices and view live traffic cameras to decide whether Express Lanes make sense for your trip. The app shows you entry and exit locations across the network, so you can plan your route with confidence. Trip duration and toll rates fluctuate based on traffic conditions, so checking the app before you leave ensures you're working with the latest information.

Managing tolls has never been simpler. Pay invoices or missed tolls directly through the app without a trip to a payment center. Set up customized price alerts so you're notified when tolls drop to levels that work for your budget — a feature that helps regular commuters make smarter decisions about when to use the lanes. Whether you're heading to work, a child's soccer game, or an afternoon errand, you stay in control of your toll spending.

New to Express Lanes? The app includes a guide to the rules of the road and E-ZPass tips, so you can use the lanes safely and correctly. Remember that an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex account is required to access the lanes themselves — the app helps you understand what you need before you go.

For safety, avoid using the app while driving. Always verify current toll prices on the overhead signs as you approach your entry point, since rates can change based on real-time traffic conditions. ExpressLanes is your planning companion — check it before you drive, not during.
