Get ready for some major closures of Interstate 95 and U.S. 1 in the Potomac Communities.
Interstate 95
The Virginia Department of Transportation announced between Friday April 15 and Thursday April 21 work on widening Interstate 95 will have an impact on drivers.
At midnight Friday, the High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes between Dumfries and Washington will close, and then reopen at 3 a.m. Monday April 18.
A portion of the lanes, between Edsall Road in Alexandria and Washington, will reopen at 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon, said VDOT.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the HOV lanes between Dumfries and Newington will close from 10 p.m. and then reopen at 5 a.m.
Drivers will be able to get onto the lanes at Springfield and use them to travel into Washington.
Additionally, work on the exit ramps in Woodbridge –– at mile posts 160 and 161 –– will force the closure of those ramps for up to 30 minutes at a time Sunday through Wednesday nights.
U.S. 1
Crews will temporarily close a portion of U.S. 1 near Ft. Belvoir in 20-minute increments between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. between Monday April 18 and Saturday April 23.
Short delays are expected as crews raise a steel girder into the air for a new bridge that will accommodate the expansion of the nearby military base, said Ft. Belvoir spokeswoman Jacqueline Leeker.
