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

The right lane of westbound Interstate 70, as well as the westbound collector/distributor lane at the Interstate 81 interchange, will close Friday night, Nov. 6, so construction crews can install concrete barriers related to ongoing improvements, the Maryland State Highway Administration announced Monday, Nov. 2. The barrier installation work will start at 8 p.m. Friday and should be finished by noon Saturday, Nov. 7, weather permitting. During this closure, drivers heading to I-81 north or south can continue on westbound I-70 to Exit 24 for Greencastle Pike (Md. 63) and get on eastbound I-70 to circle back to the I-81 interchange. After the barriers are in place, drivers will be able to travel straight through on westbound I-70 by staying in the left lane or taking the far-right collector/distributor lane. Drivers heading to I-81 will want to be in that far-right collector/distributor lane. That configuration, with the new barrier, will stay in place for the next phase of construction. The work is related to an ongoing $62 million project that includes improving six bridges and widening a 1.8-mile stretch of I-70 from west of Greencastle Pike to the Bower Avenue overpass. Triton Construction, of St. Albans, West Virginia, is the
