I-95 South Full Closure Overnight

By the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)

Weather permitting, on Friday night, July 19 through Sunday night July 21, starting each night at 9:30 p.m., the Virginia Department of Transportation will begin to close lanes on I-95 south near Exit 148, MCBQ. 

Following the single and multiple lane closures, crews will progress to a full closure of I-95 south by:

• 1 a.m. until 4 a.m. Saturday morning;
  
• 1 a.m. until 5 a.m., Sunday morning;
  
• 1 a.m. until 3 a.m., Monday morning.

This closure will allow crews to safely lift steel beams into place for the new Telegraph Road Bridge over the I-95 southbound lanes near Quantico. 

Detour:

• All I-95 southbound traffic will be directed to Exit 148, MCBQ, to U.S. Route 1 south to Garrisonville Road (Route 610) and back onto I-95 south. Police will be on-site and traffic-signal timing will be adjusted to assist with this detour.

• Drivers may experience up to 25 minutes additional travel time.

• Lanes will begin to open one at a time when the overnight detours end, with all lanes restored by 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings, July 20-21, and by 5 a.m. Monday morning, July 22. 

Once steel operations for the new Telegraph Road Bridge over I-95 south are complete, crews will move to the I-95 northbound side where work is scheduled for the weekend of July 26, with 30 minute traffic stoppages on all lanes after midnight.

As part of the 95 Express Lanes Project, commuters should also expect nightly lane closures, Mondays through Saturdays, and extended HOV closures during the day on Saturdays, throughout the summer.

The 95 Express Lanes will provide new choices, added capacity and extend and improve the performance of the existing HOV system.   The 95 Express Lanes will extend from the Edsall Road area in Fairfax County to Garrisonville Road in Stafford County.  For more information, please visit 95ExpressLanes.com.
