Occoquan, Va. –– Heads up drivers: The east shoulder of the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes will close at noon Friday for construction.
Drivers will note the construction between the Purple Heart Bridge over the Occoquan River to Gordon Boulevard (Va. 123).
The shoulder will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Salmon.
The closure should not impact traffic, said Salmon.
The work is part of the Interstate 95 widening project that when complete will add a fourth lane to each span of the Purple Heart Bridge.
The first phases of the project have been completed, as a fourth lane has been added to both the north and southbound sides of the highway between the area north of the bridge and Fairfax County Parkway.
