Work is underway to get the northbound and southbound Interstate 95 general-purpose lanes bridges over Powells Creek to improve safety and extend the overall life of the bridges, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The bridges, located around mile marker 155 between the Dale City Truck-Only Safety Rest Areas and Cardinal Drive, were originally built in 1963, repaired in 1976, and widened in 1981 and 1996.
The project includes repairing steel beams and concrete abutments, and piers, replacing bearings, closing deck joints, and repainting the bridges. In addition, the deck of the northbound general-purpose lanes bridge will be resurfaced.
During the project, someday overnight lane closures may be scheduled on the northbound and southbound general purpose lanes bridges.
The bridges average a combined 148,000 vehicles a day.
The $8.5 million I-95 over Powells Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project is financed with state funding and scheduled for completion in mid-2024.
Drivers are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
According to the state’s most recent bridge inspection report from 2021, more than half of Virginia’s bridges and culverts are 50 years old or older.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
