The Pocahontas Parkway (Route 895) is an 8.8-mile tolled highway seven miles south of Richmond, Virginia. The four-lane road connects Chippenham Parkway at I-95 in Chesterfield County with Interstate 295 south of the Richmond International Airport in Henrico County. Construction began in fall 1998, and the Parkway was opened to traffic in stages beginning in May 2002. The facility includes a high-level bridge over the James River and an interchange at Laburnum Avenue.

The Parkway was constructed with funds generated by bonds issued by the PPA in 1998 under Virginia's Public Private Transportation Act of 1995. The PPA was established for the sole purpose of financing the Parkway’s construction. The Parkway's development costs were funded through PPA-issued tax-exempt revenue bonds ($354M), a State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) loan ($18M), and Federal funding for roadway design ($9M). After 18 months of negotiation between VDOT and Transurban (USA), a private Australian toll road operator with subsidiaries in the U.S., Transurban executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with the PPA, a 63-20 nonprofit corporation, and entered into the Amended and Restated Comprehensive Agreement with VDOT on June 29, 2006.

Under the terms of those agreements, Transurban acquired the sole rights to enhance, manage, operate, maintain, and collect tolls on the Parkway for a period of 99 years. Transurban also defeased all of PPA's underlying debt and was obligated to construct the Richmond Airport Connector, a 1.58-mile, four-lane extension of the toll road to Richmond International Airport. The TIFIA loan amount was determined through a cost-benefit analysis, showing that $150 million was the minimum required to incentivize Transurban to assume the risk of constructing a much needed airport connector roadway that was not economically feasible otherwise.
