I-95 southbound nighttime lane closures at Route 123 interchange in Woodbridge Aug. 31
WOODBRIDGE – Weather permitting, the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes will have lane closures Monday night, Aug. 31, at the Route 123 interchange (Exit 160) to implement a traffic shift as part of the I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Between 9:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, and 5 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, there will be alternating single- and double-lane closures along southbound I-95.
Once the traffic shift is in place, the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes will be shifted to the right onto the newly constructed section of the bridge over Occoquan Road; the shift is needed to allow for the demolition and reconstruction of the remainder of the existing bridge over Occoquan Road. This traffic shift is scheduled to be in place until summer 2027.
The I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project is:
- Replacing the northbound Route 123 loop ramp to southbound I-95 with a signalized left-turn to southbound I-95 via the newly constructed ramp.
- Widening the southbound Route 123 ramp to southbound I-95 from one to two lanes.
- Moving the Route 123 and I-95 Express Lanes ramp intersection slightly south.
- 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.
- Widening and replacing the beams and deck of the southbound I-95 bridge over Occoquan Road.
The project’s construction along southbound I-95, including the bridge over Occoquan Road, is scheduled for completion in late 2027; the entire interchange improvements project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
