Next weekend, construction crews and the Virginia Department of Transportation will close the majority of the HOV lanes on Interstate 95 and 395.
There will be more closures in the months to come, and transportation officials have provided information about them so you can plan around them.
Here’s more in a press release:
Beginning next weekend (September 13-15), the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will extend weekend closures of the reversible High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes on I-95/395 from Turkeycock (Edsall Road) to Dumfries, just south of Exit 152 (Route 234). Through September, the HOV lanes will close on Friday nights and remain closed until Sunday afternoons. In October, the HOV lanes will close on Friday nights and remain closed until 4 a.m. Monday mornings. Details below:
September Weekends (13, 20, and 27): HOV lanes will close on Friday nights, remain closed all day on Saturdays, and reopen on Sunday afternoons by 2 p.m. heading northbound.
October Weekends (4, 18 and 25): HOV lanes will close on Friday nights, remain closed the entire weekend, and reopen on Monday mornings by 4 a.m. heading northbound.
Exceptions:
October 11 (Columbus Day weekend): HOV lanes will close during overnight hours only, no daytime closures.
Sundays when the Redskins play at home: HOV lanes will open northbound by 2 p.m.
The 95 Express Lanes project has completed one full year of construction. Extended weekend HOV closures will enable crews to advance critical work including:
* Installing sign structure foundations
* Placing stormwater management drainage
* Repairing existing roadway surfaces
* Milling old pavement
* Paving lanes with new asphalt
* Installing new pavement markings and guardrail
* Pouring new concrete barriers
Motorists should plan ahead and expect delays along I-95/395 when the HOV Lanes are closed. The HOV Lanes will remain open from the Washington D.C. line to Duke Street. For additional details, Review HOV closure fact sheet here.

To celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week (May 6-10, 2024), Clean Air Partners is working with A Few Cool Hardware Stores to exchange DC, Maryland and Virginia residents’ gas-powered lawnmowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers at select Ace Hardware locations in the region. DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
Compared to gas, electric lawn equipment can reduce emissions, noise pollution, health risks and maintenance costs and time. The program aims to remove about a hundred gas-powered polluting tools from yards in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.
The exchanges will take place the weekends of May 17-19, 2024, and May 31-June 2, 2024, at A Few Cool Hardware Stores network of employee-owned Ace Hardware stores in the DC and Baltimore metro areas.
