DALE CITY – The southbound I-95 general purpose lanes will have lane closures tonight, weather permitting, around mile marker 155 between Cardinal Drive and the Dale City Truck-Only Safety Rest Area South for Striping work as part of the Powells Creek bridge project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The lane closures along the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes are scheduled to occur as follows:

9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 10: One lane closed
10 p.m. Wednesday, April 10 to 5 a.m. Thursday, April 11: Two lanes closed
5 a.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday, April 11: One lane closed

Drivers should expect delays and are advised to use alternate routes.

The work is part of the I-95 over Powells Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project, which is improving safety and extending the overall life of the northbound and southbound I-95 general purpose lanes bridges over Powells Creek. The bridges were built in 1963, repaired in 1976 and widened in 1981 and 1996. The project includes repairing steel beams and concrete abutments and piers, replacing bearings, closing deck joints and repainting the bridges. In addition, the deck of the northbound general purpose lanes bridge is being resurfaced. The project is scheduled for completion this summer.
