QUANTICO, Va. — Construction crews will close a portion of Interstate 95 on Tuesday night as part of the 95 Express Lanes Project.
The closures are set to take place at Quantico.
More in a press release:
Weather permitting, beginning Tuesday, February 12, after midnight the Virginia Department of Transportation will be implementing intermittent full road closures on I-95 north and south at mile marker 147 near Marine Corps Base Quantico, Exit 148 for utility work. The closures will take place between midnight and 4 a.m. with up to six stoppages of 15 minutes each as Dominion Power removes and installs overhead electrical wires to support the future 95 Express Lanes.
Motorist may experience delays of up to ten minutes. The last exit before work zone heading north is Garrisonville Road, and heading south is Joplin Road. Signs and message boards will be posted along the corridor to inform motorist of construction activities. State police will be onsite directing traffic.
U.S. 1 runs parallel to I-95, and drivers can access it prior to the construction area at Exits 143 at Garrisonville Road in North Stafford and 150 at Jopin Road in Quantico.
The nearly $1 billion public-private project is an effort to not only convert the reversible HOV lanes to toll lanes on I-95 from Dumfries to the Pentagon, but to also build two new reversible toll lanes from Dumfries to Garrisonville Road in North Stafford.
In the extended stretch of the lanes, a new flyover ramp is being built just south of Va. 234 in Dumfries that will allow southbound traffic to leave the toll lanes and rejoin traffic on the main portion of the highway. At the terminus of the lanes at Garrisonville Road, a new flyover ramp will also carry drivers off the toll lanes back into the regular lanes of I-95 to provide access to North Stafford and areas south.
