Starting Monday, drivers in the Potomac Communities who use Interstate 95 and 395 will see signs displaying travel times on the highway.
Electronic signs in seven spots along the highway between Dumfries and the Pentagon, like the first one that will be placed at I-95 and Va. 234 noting the time and distance it will take drivers to get to the Capital Beltway based on current traffic conditions, will be used to better inform drivers as they travel.
“Keeping traffic moving in Northern Virginia is a daily challenge that requires the latest technology tools. Using travel data to display accurate travel times allows motorists to consider taking an alternate route before getting mired in traffic or, at the very least, know what to expect,” said Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell. “Whether you are a daily commuter, long distance traveler or trucker, this information is helpful.”
The new signs mirror those that are currently in use on I-66 and i-495, and will display travel times on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. and between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. weekends.
The announcement comes the same week as McDonnell said transportation officials are close to reaching a $1 billon deal to convert High Occupancy Vehicle lanes to toll lanes.
Northbound I-95 travel times will be posted on overhead signs:
At Route 234, with the travel time to the Capital Beltway/I-495
At Route 123, with the travel time to the Capital Beltway/I495
At the Fairfax County Parkway, with the travel time to the D.C. line
Southbound I-95 travel times will be posted on overhead signs:
Near the Pentagon, with the travel time to the Capital Beltway/I-495
Prior to the Beltway, with the travel time to Route 123
Near the Fairfax County Parkway, with the travel time to Route 234
Near Lorton, with the travel time to Route 3 in Fredericksburg
