DUMFRIES, Va. — Training exercises in and around Quantico Marine Corps Base can often rattle windows.
Now, with the construction of express lanes on Interstate 95 from Dumfries to North Stafford, crews warn it may get even louder.
More in a press release from the 95 Express Lanes Project:
——
The 95 Express Lanes has started the project’s first pile driving activities in October 2012 near the Town of Dumfries along the I-95 corridor.
This work is taking place just north of Joplin Road in Prince William County directly beside I-95. Pile driving began the week of October 22 and is and is expected to continue until mid-November.
Driving of the piles will take place Monday through Saturday beginning at 7 a.m. each morning and will continue until 6 p.m.
Residents of the area can expect to hear significant noise during this time. Pile driving is usually done in intervals of about 15 minutes with a similar break in between activities.
This activity drives steel piles into the soil to support foundations for the bridge abutment that will support the Joplin Road flyover bridge which is part of the 95 Express Lanes Project.
Crews will return later this year into early 2013 for additional bridge abutment pile driving.
