North Stafford, Va. — Virginia Department of Transportation officials were out Wednesday night at Moncure Elementary School in North Stafford to answer questions about the expansion of the Staffordboro Commuter Lot off Va. 610.

Transportation officials plan to add an additional 1,000 parking spaces at the site in preparation for High Occupancy Toll lanes that will be built as part of the I-95 HOT lanes project. Construction on the lanes could begin as early as next spring.

Earlier this year, Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean T. Connaughton announced the planned expansion of the Staffordboro lot, as well as an additional 1,000 parking spaces at the Horner Road Commuter Lot in Woodbridge.
