The 5428 Cintra and 7905 Meridiam-led consortium will design, build, finance, maintain and operate the project, designed to relieve congestion, improve safety and provide more predictable travel times for Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC metro region.

The Transform I-66 Outside the Beltway Project extends 22 miles along the Interstate 66 corridor between US Route 29 near Gainesville in Prince William County and Interstate 495 in Fairfax County, with a total investment of more than US$3 billion.
