Whatever happened to the HOV extension?

It almost seems mythical now…. “The 95 HOV lanes will be extended south through Massaponnox”. Like a folk tale passed along on the breezy tones of a confident story teller, those words resonated with many living south of the merge. We were braced for the construction trucks, detour signs, further congestion and delay. But where, oh where, is our extension that was first propsed in March 2004 and approved in January 2005?
Shockingly…. there have been delays. Shockingly, environmental studies seem to be the biggest delay. Would someone like to check out the environments in those cars crammed onto 95 on Friday night at 7 pm?After some googling….. I have found info that points to construction to begin at the end of this year. Check out this link through VDOT that details the locations, plans, timelines and gives us all a little hope…. Rome wasn’t built in a day? Right…..???????? HOV Extension Information
