Pope Francis’ arrival in Washington this week will prompt changes to the Interstate 95 EZ-Pass Express Lanes.
Here’s what they told us:
Pope Francis will be arriving in Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, with a parade taking place on Wednesday, September 23. Heavy travel is to be expected in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., especially in the I-95 corridor.
