Starting at the end of June, there will be purple lane striping added to the entry points on 495 and 95 Express Lanes.
According to a release from Transurban, the company that owns and operates the lanes, the new stripes will be added to the inside of the existing stripes at entry points.
The reason for the new lane striping is to minimize confusion for drivers, so they can better distinguish between Express Lanes and the regular Beltway and Interstate 95 lanes.
