All Aurora Highlands / Pentagon City residents are encouraged to come to our monthly meetings to meet neighbors, discuss topics of interest, and share information.

Meeting Agenda

395 Express Lanes Extension. Come learn about this project, which is extending the 395 Express Lanes for eight miles north from Edsall Road to the vicinity of Eads Street. The two existing HOV lanes (or High Occupancy Toll) lanes are being converted to express lanes and a third lane is being added, providing three reversible express lanes. Carpools of 3+ riders will be free and other drivers will pay a variable toll depending on traffic. Construction began in August, and the new lanes are slated to open next year. Discussions are underway regarding the installation of soundwalls along the edge of the highway in the Arlington Ridge neighborhood.
The main purpose of this meeting is to learn about how the express lanes will affect the neighborhood at the Eads St. exit and to discuss signage for the express lanes. Members of the Crystal City and Arlington Ridge Civic Associations have also been invited.
