ADHogan’s personal Facebook page first posted a Dec. 6 editorial from The Washington Post in support of building the toll lanes. Hogan previously delayed a Dec. 4 vote on the toll-lane plan after Franchot, who is weighing a run for governor, requested that it be pushed to Dec. 18 to allow more time to assess the changes. State officials have said the state would pay nothing. The contracts, which MDOT hopes to finalize in 2021, would have an estimated value of more than $9 billion, state officials say. The lanes on the Capital Beltway would extend over the American Legion Bridge and connect with toll lanes on Virginia’s side of the Beltway, creating a regional network.
