QUANTICO, Va. — Last week, the 95 Express Lanes crews hung these beams over Russell Road at Quantico for the new overpass for the lanes when they open in late 2014.
Last night, work began on nearby Telegraph Road, where a two-lane bridge will be demolished to make way for a new bridge to carry traffic over I-95. The project is expected to take nine months to complete.

The Express Lanes Project isn’t the only effort underway to improve the drive on I-95 in Prince William County. Crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation are also widening the shoulders of the highway and adding auxiliary lanes – a project that is expected to last two years.
The improvement project began yesterday, and at the same time massive delays formed on both sides of I-95. Drivers quickly jumped off the highway and onto U.S. 1 as a bailout route, though traffic on it quickly slowed thereafter.
