PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Traveling Interstate 95 in our area tonight? Watch out for more closures on the HOV lanes from Dumfries to Washington.
Starting at 11 p.m., the HOV lanes will close until 10 a.m. Saturday, when the lanes will reopen at the Franconia-Springfield Parkway for drivers headed south into Prince William County. The northern section of the lanes from Springfield to Washington will stay closed until 5 p.m. that afternoon, when the lanes will reopened in their entirety in the northbound direction, according to a press release from the Virginia Megaprojects office.
Traveling on I-395 between the Capital Beltway and Seminary Road in Alexandria? One left lane of that portion of highway will also close at 11 o’clock tonight and reopen at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
All of these closures will allow crews working on the 95 Express Lanes Project to install new signage, and perform work on drainage, grading, and barriers along the project corridor which extends from North Stafford to Edsall Road in Alexandria.
Transportation officials urge drivers to expect delays and find alternate routes if possible.
