Prince William County will celebrate two major transportation milestones this week with ribbon-cutting events for the new Opitz Boulevard ramp on the 95 Express Lanes and the county's first-ever commuter parking garage, the Neabsco-Potomac Commuter Garage. Together, these projects aim to improve transit access, ease congestion, and expand multi-modal options in a rapidly growing area.
Opitz Boulevard Ramp Ribbon Cutting
On Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 11 a.m. to noon, local leaders will officially open the Opitz Boulevard ramp on the 95 Express Lanes. This $70 million project, funded by Transurban and executed in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Shirley Contracting Company, provides a dedicated northbound access point for morning commuters, connecting directly to a busy area that includes Sentara Medical Center, Potomac Mills, and the new Neabsco-Potomac Commuter Garage. This new entry to the Express Lanes is the first stand-alone ramp integrated into the 95/395 Express Lanes network, and it is expected to relieve congestion for drivers heading northbound during peak hours.
