The Dulles Greenway is a privately owned 14-mile toll road that connects Washington Dulles International Airport with Leesburg, Virginia. Since the Dulles Greenway’s dedication on September 29th 1995, commuters have enjoyed a non-stop alternative to Routes 7 and 28. The Greenway project represents a new paradigm for cooperation between the public and private sectors for resolving infrastructure issues.
