DALE CITY – On Thursday night, Oct. 2, weather permitting, the southbound-running 95 Express Lanes will be closed between the exit for Dale Boulevard (Route 784 to Dale City/Rippon Landing/rest area) and the exit for Route 234/Dumfries/Manassas) for Neabsco Creek bridge-related geotechnical work, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The left lane of the southbound-running 95 Express Lanes just before the exit for Dale Boulevard will be closed from 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2.
The southbound-running 95 Express Lanes will be fully closed from 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, to 1 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3. During that time, the following ramps will also be closed:
· Opitz Boulevard (Route 2000) ramp to the southbound 95 Express Lanes
· Southbound I-95 general purpose lanes ramp to the southbound 95 Express Lanes around mile marker 156.5 just past the Dale Boulevard interchange
Southbound 95 Express Lanes traffic will be diverted to the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes via the flyover ramp that provides access to the Dale Boulevard interchange. Drivers will be able to re-enter the 95 Express Lanes via the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes flyover ramp just past the Telegraph Road (Route 637) overpass in Stafford County; this flyover ramp is located about a mile and a half beyond the Russell Road (Exit 148 to Marine Corps Base Quantico) interchange.
The 95 Express Lanes will then be closed from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3, for the regularly scheduled reversal from southbound to northbound operations; the Neabsco Creek work zone will be cleared from the roadway by the time the 95 Express Lanes begin running northbound at 3 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3.
The geotechnical work is part of preparations for the I-95 southbound over Neabsco Creek bridge project. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2027.
Drivers are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
