QUANTICO, Va. — The right lane of Interstate 95 southbound will close during daytime hours near mile marker 147, just south of Exit 148 at the Marine Corps Base Quantico.
“This work is regular maintenance of the interstate, and is not connected to the I-95 HOT Lanes project underway in the same area,” said VDOT spokesperson Kelly Hannon.
Beginning Monday, Dec. 10 through Friday, Dec. 14, the right lane will be closed each day from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Virginia Department of Transportation is repairing the slope of the roadway over approximately 200 yards.
Motorists may encounter minor traffic delays as they approach the work zone.
“Erosion was noticed along the outer edge of the right shoulder of I-95 near mile marker 147. The erosion at this time is occurring only near the shoulder, but due to concern that the erosion could eventually spread to the area of the general travel lanes undermining the pavement, this repair was scheduled for next week. The right lane is needed for equipment staging involved in the repair,” reported Hannon.
Real-time listings of work zones and road conditions in Virginia are available on VDOT’s 24-hour traffic information website, 511Virginia.org. Motorists can also access 511Virginia by dialing 511 from any telephone in Virginia.
