This coming summer is going to be very busy along the Interstate 95 corridor in Prince William County.
During the day, Monday – Thursday, 95 Express Lanes construction on I-95 north will be from 9:30 – 3 p.m. On Fridays, closures are picked up by noon. These times are the same for I-395 north and south too.
However, on I-95 south from Edsall Road to Garrisonville Road (Route 610), the daytime closures begin earlier from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. allowing crews to get in and out before the afternoon rush hour. On Fridays on I-95 south closures are picked up by 11 a.m.
At night, Monday -Thursday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. and Friday night from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. the southbound HOV lanes, between Edsall Road and Dumfries Road (Route 234), will be closed and motorists must use the general purpose lanes.
In general, the best time to travel on I-95 South through this area during the week would be after the afternoon peak rush hours, around 7 p.m. and before overnight closures start, about 9:30 p.m. During the day, there might be single-lane closures that will have minimum impact to traffic.
