WOODBRIDGE – Weather permitting, starting late Thursday night, Nov. 12, drivers on northbound Route 123 (Gordon Boulevard) will have a new way to access southbound I-95 due to the I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
On Thursday, Nov. 12, at approximately 10 p.m., northbound Route 123 drivers will use a new left-turn lane at the traffic signal to access southbound I-95.
The new left turn will allow northbound Route 123 drivers to access the existing southbound Route 123 ramp to southbound I-95. As a result, the existing northbound Route 123 loop ramp to southbound I-95 will be permanently closed, and the existing merge point on southbound I-95 from northbound Route 123 will be eliminated, thereby improving safety and traffic flow on southbound I-95 approaching the Route 123 overpass.
Widening the southbound Route 123 ramp to southbound I-95 from one to two lanes.
Moving the Route 123 and I-95 Express Lanes ramp intersection slightly south.
Realigning the southbound I-95 ramp to northbound Route 123.
Adding a shared-use path along northbound Route 123 from Annapolis Way to Devil's Reach Road.
Widening and replacing the beams and deck of the southbound I-95 bridge over Occoquan Road.
The project’s construction along southbound I-95, including the bridge over Occoquan Road, is scheduled for completion in late 2027; the entire interchange improvements project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
