NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — They put it off before but it had to get going again at some point.
Virginia transportation officials are warning drivers to expect daytime closures on Interstate 95 in the area of Quantico Marine Corps Base this week. The work is to repair a slope along the highway and it’s not considered a part of the larger effort to bring I-95 Express toll lanes to North Stafford.
More in a press release:
The right lane of Interstate 95 southbound will close next week during daytime hours near mile marker 147, just south of Exit 148 at Quantico Marine Corps Base.
Beginning Monday, Jan. 7 through Thursday, Jan. 10, the right lane will be closed each day from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) continues to repair the slope of the roadway over approximately 200 yards. Due to the materials being used, this work must be performed when temperatures are warmer during daytime hours. Work on the project has been suspended since Dec. 20 to avoid congestion delays over the year-end holidays.
Real-time listings of work zones and road conditions in Virginia are available on VDOT’s 24-hour traffic information website, www.511Virginia.org. Motorists can also access 511Virginia by calling 511 from any telephone in Virginia.
