Senior Field System Network Architect

In 2016, the Commonwealth of Virginia selected a Cintra‑led consortium to finance, design, build, operate and maintain the express lanes on Interstate 66 Outside the Beltway. The project will transform this critical Northern Virginia artery to relieve congestion, improve safety and provide more predictable travel times. The corridor extends approximately 22 miles from the Capital Beltway (I‑495) to Gainesville (US Route 29). Once completed, the project will include three toll‑free general‑purpose lanes and two express lanes in each direction with a state‑of‑the‑art open‑road electronic toll‑collection system, as well as expanded transit service, park‑and‑ride lots and interchange enhancements.

It will also connect shared‑use paths to create more multimodal options, achieving a $2.5 billion net savings for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
