QUANTICO, Va. — The roads in and out of Quantico Marine Corps Base this week may be jammed thanks to the annual Modern Day Marine exposition.
Modern Day Marine takes place Tuesday through Thursday. Quantico officials will be busy shuttling exhibitors on and off the base, and drivers in the area can expect longer than normal delays between 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. each day.
Beginning on or about October 1, the I-95 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) slip ramp from the southbound HOV lanes (south of the Fairfax County Parkway) to the general purpose lanes will close permanently to allow for construction of an additional travel lane for the 95 Express Lanes Project.
Motorists will transition from the HOV lanes to the general purpose lanes using the left exit ramp marked: Route 286 Fairfax County Parkway/Newington/ Ft. Belvoir. The next opportunity to exit the southbound HOV lanes will be at Route 1, Exit 161.

To roll the windows up or down when riding with Slugs? That is the question.
When cruising solo or with familiar people, that question is more easily answered. But when driving Slugs up and down the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, it could be a bit trickier.
