Construction crews are about to remove a sharp curve in Old Bridge Road, a vital link to Interstate 95.
The curve is at Occoquan Road, and it's one of the sharpest turns on any six-lane street in the region. The $11.5 million project will realign the highway south of Occoquan Road. Transportation officials hope the improvements work to ease traffic congestion that forms in the street's elbow, which backs up to Route 123 at Interstate 95.
The work will also add a dedicated right turn lane from Old Bridge Road onto southbound Occoquan Road and will install pedestrian crosswalks and ramps at all sides of the intersection. It'll also add a new traffic signal.
