Spotsylvania supervisors want more information about George Washington Toll Road Authority

Spotsylvania County supervisors want more information about a proposed toll road authority. The first of two required public hearings about the creation of a George Washington Toll Road Authority didn't provide the information they hope to eventually receive.

One project the toll road authority is expected to fund is a new Interstate 95 interchange near the Virginia Welcome Center. The interchange would connect to a toll road that bypasses State Route 3 to Gordon Road, at a cost of $250 million.

"I do look forward to some detailed analysis and justification for when and where we will build this road," said Supervisor Gary Jackson.

Homeowners will want to be informed of any decisions made regarding the proposed Authority, as any projects undertaken will likely affect the level of taxes and fees households pay to the County. New construction and traffic patterns can also affect property values.
