The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will host a public meeting on September 9 to discuss ongoing construction for the I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements in Woodbridge. The event will take place at Occoquan Elementary School’s gymnasium from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a presentation beginning at 6 p.m. Project staff will be available after the presentation to answer questions from attendees.
The construction project includes several major changes to the interchange. Plans call for replacing the northbound Route 123 loop ramp to southbound I-95 with a signalized left-turn onto the southbound Route 123 ramp, widening the southbound Route 123 ramp to two lanes, and shifting the intersection of Route 123 and I-95 Express Lanes slightly south. Other components include realigning the southbound I-95 ramp to northbound Route 123, adding a shared-use path along northbound Route 123 from Annapolis Way to Devil’s Reach Road, and widening as well as replacing beams and deck of the southbound I-95 bridge over Occoquan Road.
Funding for the $76 million project comes from both federal and state sources. Construction along southbound I-95, including work on the bridge over Occoquan Road, is expected to finish by late 2027. The entire interchange improvement effort is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
