QUANTICO, Va. — Pile driving work has begun near the Quantico Marine Corps Base as part of the Interstate 95 Express Lanes Project.
The work is underway near Joplin Road (Exit 150) on I-95. Transportation officials said the pile driving work will support the foundation of a new bridge that will run over Joplin Road.
Overall, the new Express Lanes are expected to open in 2015, and they will connect North Stafford with existing HOV lanes in Prince William and Fairfax counties. The new lanes will provide a seamless connection with express toll lanes which opened last month on the Capital Beltway between Springfield and Dulles Toll Road.
When they open, single drivers must have an E-Z Pass or E-Z Pass Flex and will be charged to use the lanes. Carpoolers or vehicles with three or more occupants must have an E-Z Pass Flex to use the lanes for free.
More about the construction in a press release from Virginia Megaprojects office:
Pile driving will take place Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Daytime lane closures will be in place on Joplin Road to allow for this work. Motorists should expect delays in this area. Due to the holiday, closures are suspended Dec. 24 and 25, and until noon on the 26th. Review the Joplin Road Pile Driving Fact Sheet.
Extending 29 miles from Edsall Road (Rt. 648) to Garrisonville Road (Rt. 610), the 95 Express Lanes will provide new choices, added capacity and improve the performance of the existing HOV system. The Project is scheduled for completion in early 2015.
Work to repair a slope along I-95 at Quantico is also underway. This work is not apart of the I-95 Express Lanes Project.
The right lane of I-95 south will continue to close during daytime hours near mile marker 147, just south of the Quantico Marine Corps Base. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is repairing the slope of the roadway for approximately 200 yards. This work began Monday, Dec. 10 and will continued through Thursday, Dec. 20 each weekday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Motorists may encounter minor traffic delays as they approach the work zone.
