STAFFORD, Va. — Officials are slated to make an emergency exception to noise rules for high occupancy toll lane construction on Interstate 95.

Stafford County officials tonight will vote on a proposed amendment to the county’s noise ordinance that limits daytime noise to 65 decibels, 55 decibels at night. Work to extend two express lanes down the center median of I-95 from Dumfries to North Stafford will exceed 80 decibels, according to a county report.
