Tar spill snarls traffic on Interstate 95 in Chesterfield

Southbound traffic on Interstate 95 in southern Chesterfield County was snarled on the morning of Nov. 9 as crews worked to clean up tar spilled on the highway after a truck hauling the substance overturned. It happened shortly before 5 a.m. near the Ruffin Mill Road-Woods Edge Road exit about four miles north of Colonial Heights, Virginia State Police Sgt. Jessica Shehan said in an email. A vehicle attempting to change lanes hit the truck, causing it to overturn and spill tar all over the southbound travel lanes. Both drivers were taken to an area hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The crash remains under investigation. Travel through the area was expected to be slow while the cleanup continued.

Prince George roundabout project starts with detours

Work has begun on a long-awaited traffic roundabout on a main Prince George County road, and that means long-term detours will be in place. In an announcement Nov. 6, the project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2027. The roundabout "will improve safety and operations at the intersection," VDOT said. Motorists heading to and from Hopewell and the Prince George courthouse area are being directed to use state Route 156, also known as Prince George Drive, and state Route 106, Courthouse Road. Trucks and other large commercial vehicles will be directed to use Courthouse Road, state Route 36 and state Route 10 to get around the construction area. VDOT describes the roundabout as a single-lane circular project with drainage and lighting improvements. Similar roundabouts exist at the intersection of Jefferson Park, Allin and Bull Hill roads near the Fort Lee back gate, and at the intersection of Allin and Courthouse roads. A roundabout in the shape of a dog bone was recently completed at the intersection of Courthouse and Bull Hill roads. For questions about the roundabout project or to report hazardous road conditions, contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center my.vdot.virginia.gov or by calling 800-FOR-ROAD ( 367-7623

VDOT studying around-the-clock, two-way Express Lanes on I-95

The Virginia Department of Transportation is exploring adding bi-directional, around-the-clock express lanes for approximately 45 miles of Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Oct. 20 received an informational presentation from the department on the feasibility of converting the I-95 reversible express lanes to bi-directional operations. The express lanes currently operate in one direction at a time, with the direction changing based on established weekday and weekend schedules; drivers traveling in the opposite direction cannot access the express lanes. The proposed bi-directional configuration would allow express lane travel in both directions at all times. The proposed project, led by the Virginia Department of Transportation, is still in the feasibility stage, according to a county news release. Feasibility has not yet been determined because potential property, traffic, road configuration, ingress and egress and environmental impacts require further study, the release states. The schedule and construction timeline also remain uncertain, pending the results of the study, necessary approvals and a commercial agreement. The examination is evaluating approximately 45 miles of the I-95 Express Lanes from near the Springfield Interchange in Fairfax County to Spotsylvania County. Under the concept presented to the board, three express lanes would
