New I-81 lane opening soon near Staunton

A third northbound lane of Interstate 81 in the Staunton area is scheduled to open the week of Nov. 9, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The new lane will run between exit 222 at Route 250 and exit 225 at Route 262. The opening is part of an ongoing project to widen I-81 in both directions near Staunton. Construction began in fall 2023 and is scheduled to be completed in summer 2027. The project also includes widening five bridges, four on I-81 South and one on I-81 North. Construction will continue after the third northbound lane opens. Remaining work includes bridge construction, paving, striping and installation of guardrails and signs. Drivers could encounter shoulder closures, changes in traffic patterns and overnight single-lane closures. The work-zone speed limit remains 60 mph in both directions. VDOT said construction schedules could change because of weather. The project is being completed under a $101 million design-build contract and is part of Virginia's I-81 Corridor Improvement Program. Other I-81 projects planned or underway in VDOT's Staunton District include truck-climbing lanes at Weyers Cave, scheduled for completion in late 2027; southbound widening near Strasburg, scheduled for completion in fall 2028; and widening near Harrisonburg,

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
