A new ramp to the southbound Lanes in Prince William County
November 27, 2023
The express version
- The ramp to the southbound Express Lanes from the regular lanes near Opitz Blvd. closes Dec. 7
- A replacement ramp near Dale Blvd., just south of the closed ramp, will open Dec. 8
- The ramp closure is necessary to build a new connection from the 95 Express Lanes directly to Opitz Blvd.
The ramp to get on the southbound Express Lanes from the regular lanes near Opitz Blvd. will close around 10 p.m. on December 7. A replacement ramp about 3/4 mile south near Dale Blvd. will open to customers for southbound travel after the midday reversal on December 8.
Drivers should travel with extra caution during the nighttime period of December 7 as lane closures will be in place to close the current ramp and open the new one.
Relocating the access ramp was necessary to build a new reversible ramp that will connect the 95 Express Lanes directly to Opitz Boulevard.
Work on that ramp will begin on Monday, December 11. To allow for construction activities between the southbound regular lanes and the 95 Express Lanes, customers traveling on the northbound Express Lanes should expect that the left shoulder will be closed from about Dale Boulevard to Opitz Boulevard.
