Congestion on I-95 in Prince William County this weekend, June 2-4, due to bridge deck repairs

VDOT suggests motorists avoid I-95 in northern Virginia this weekend, June 2-4, as lanes will be closed southbound in Dale City for bridge deck repair. Congestion and delays are expected to be extensive in both directions.

After several weekends of rain cancelled the second segment of work, crews will work Friday through Sunday to complete the repairs.

Southbound I-95 will be reduced from three to two lanes over Neabsco Creek (mile marker 156) from 10 PM tonight, Friday, June 2 to 6 AM Monday, June 5.
Ramps from eastbound and westbound Dale Boulevard to southbound I-95 will also be closed to all except emergency vehicles.
The southbound car-only safety rest area will also be closed.

During the repairs, the 95 Express Lanes will remain open with toll pricing in effect and free travel for HOV-3 vehicles with E-ZPass Flex set to HOV mode. The lanes will be southbound beginning at 1 PM Friday, June 2, to help alleviate backups, and will be monitored to change direction if needed.  Drivers planning to head northbound this weekend are asked to be aware of this, and to plan trips accordingly for heavier-than-usual return traffic, particularly on Sunday.

Here are some alternate routes you can find at http://bit.ly/neabscobridge and are listed below.
