New poles have been erected along Interstate 95 as part of the Express Lanes Project.
More than 40 poles have been strung along a stretch of HOV lanes between Prince William Parkway and their current terminus in Dumfries. They’ll be used to light the highway facility, said a project spokeswoman.
As crews work to extend the existing HOV lanes from Dumfries to Garrisonville Road in North Stafford and convert them to toll lanes, even more light poles have already been erected. A total of 85 light poles will be erected in Stafford County as part of the project.
