Ramp to connect Fort Belvoir North to I-95

Fairfax County:

“Construction continues on the ramp that will connect Fort Belvoir North commuters to I-95 south express lanes and regular northbound lanes. ‘We’re currently on schedule, looking to complete by Dec. 14 of this year,’ said Tim Brown, construction operations engineer for Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, part of the Federal Highway Administration.

The FHA is managing the project in coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The ramp is set to open in early 2015, coinciding with the opening of the new I-95 express lanes… As construction progresses, there will also be less lane closures during night construction, he added.

‘The number of lane closures should be diminishing in our work zone going forward,’ Brown said.

The ramp will allow drivers from Fort Belvoir North to drive directly on to the I-95 South express lanes, or get right onto the regular I-95 northbound lanes, said Michelle Holland, VDOT Megaprojects communications manager. The ramp’s major benefit is connecting drivers to the I-95 southbound express lanes, she added.”
