brianne: a compromise and also a historic move. eastbound lanes of 66. you can see the traffic moving. but for any of you driving in the morning you know there are choke points along here. now according to lawmakers in virginia they have a plan to try to alleviate that. earlier today virginia governor terry mcauliffe saying the relief will come as they widen interstate 66 inside the beltway. the bipartisan agreement would widen the eastbound lanes of 66 from the dulles connector to exit 71 in boston. this project is part of a budget amendment that needs to make its way through the general assembly. the price tag is $140 million. currently the solo drivers are not allowed to use the lane in rush hour. will pay the toll to get on. tolls set for 2017 are still expected to be that way. while construction on the widening is underway. take a listen to what the governor had to say. governor mcauliffe: this agreement will accelerate the widening of the choke point while beefing up transit improvement for the
