Dale City, Va. –– Drivers will soon have a more room to turn at Dale Boulevard and Benita Fitzgerald Drive.
The westbound turn lanes from Dale Boulevard onto Benita Fitzgerald will be extended 250 feet beginning March 21.
The project will provide relief for westbound commuters who drive Dale Boulevard and are often stuck in delays caused by drivers waiting to make a left turn onto Benita Fitzgerald Drive.
Approved the Prince William Board of Supervisors this month, the $267,000 contract for the project was awarded to Arthur Construction Company in Dulles.
They were the lowest bidder after the bidding process was opened February 3, said Prince William County Department of Transportation Project Manager Mohammad Ayyoubi.
Construction will take place during the day, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Because work will start after the morning rush hour and wrap up for the day before the afternoon rush hour begins, few traffic impacts are anticipated, said Ayyoubi.
The work should be completed August 31.
