Memorial Day 2023 Reversal Schedule

Hitting the road for a getaway this holiday? You will have plenty of company; AAA predicts it will be the third busiest Memorial Day travel season since 2000. To help smooth travels on I-95, we're changing up our schedule and kicking off our early reversal on weekdays. Get the details below:

Memorial Day travel period

• Wednesday, May 24: Mid-day reversal begins at 11 a.m. Lanes open southbound by about 1 p.m. 
• Thursday, May 25 and Friday, May 26: Mid-day reversal begins 30 minutes earlier at 10:30 a.m. Lanes open southbound by about 12:30 p.m. 
• Saturday, May 27: Standard Saturday schedule. Lanes run southbound until mid-day reversal at 2 p.m. Lanes open northbound by about 4 p.m. 
• Sunday, May 28: Standard Sunday schedule. Lanes run northbound, no reversal.

Beginning Tuesday, May 30, the 395 and 95 Express Lanes will follow the summer schedule, with mid-day reversals beginning at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays. 

With upcoming summer travel plans and continuing construction on the 95 Express Lanes extension to Fredericksburg, drivers are asked to exercise extra caution throughout the corridor as project vehicles come and go from the median. With crews advancing critical elements of the project near fast-moving traffic, it is essential all drivers maintain safe speeds and avoid any distractions.
