Starting at 11 p.m., the HOV lanes will close until 10 a.m. Saturday, when the lanes will reopen at the Franconia-Springfield Parkway for drivers headed south into Prince William County. The northern section of the lanes from Springfield to Washington will stay closed until 5 p.m. that afternoon, when the lanes will reopened in their entirety in the northbound direction, according to a press release from the Virginia Megaprojects office.
Traveling on I-395 between the Capital Beltway and Seminary Road in Alexandria? One left lane of that portion of highway will also close at 11 o’clock tonight and reopen at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
