On Thursday night, September 4, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close the southbound-running 95 Express Lanes in Dale City for geotechnical work related to the Neabsco Creek bridge project. The closure will affect the section between the exits for Dale Boulevard (Route 784) and Route 234/Dumfries/Manassas.
According to VDOT, “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, Sept. 4.”
The full closure of the southbound-running 95 Express Lanes is scheduled from 10 p.m. Thursday until 1 a.m. Friday, September 5. During this period, ramps at Opitz Boulevard (Route 2000) and from the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes around mile marker 156.5 will also be closed.
VDOT stated, “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.”
Following this work, VDOT said, “The 95 Express Lanes will then be closed from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5, 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, Sept. 5.”
The ongoing geotechnical work is part of preparations for an upcoming project on I-95 over Neabsco Creek, with construction planned to start in mid-2027.
Drivers are advised by VDOT to exercise caution in active work zones and remain alert for changing traffic patterns.
