THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP:
FOR A DECADE, TRANSURBAN HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE REGION
A blueprint for smart, sustainable and connected mobility
Our collaboration with government has delivered one of the largest networks of managed lanes in the world, a nearly $4 billion highway-within-a-highway that keeps the sixth largest metro area in the U.S. moving faster and more reliably.
Together with public, industry, labor and community stakeholders, we’ve built a model process for public-private partnership. Our approach accelerates the delivery of critical infrastructure while helping take public funds further and protecting taxpayers on the road ahead.
Our Express Lanes help Virginia improve the quality of life for its residents and rise to one of the top states to do business.
