GAINESVILLE, Va. — What do you get when you mix a major construction project and Jimmy Buffet? On the weekend of August 16 through 18, it’s a recipe for road delays.
Virginia Department of Transportation officials working to improve the intersection at U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road, where a series new bridges will carry traffic on Linton Hall Road over U.S. 29 and a railroad, told drivers Wednesday to soon expect major delays in the area.
Virginia Transportation officials announced upcoming changes to the HOV lanes on Interstate 95.
Starting Aug. 5, they’ll close to northbound drivers an hour earlier in the mornings and open to southbound drivers one hour earlier each weekday.

The first layers of new pavement for the 95 Express Lanes Project are on the ground. And with them comes a mean season for summer drivers.
New asphalt lies in the median of Interstate 95 at Quantico and in northern Stafford County, where there once was no road. It’s part of what will be 29 miles of new highway, or the tolled 95 Express Lanes, that when complete in late 2014, will seamlessly connect with similar lanes on the Capital Beltway from Springfield to Dulles Toll Road.
