WOODBRIDGE — Weather permitting, Occoquan Road (Route 906) between Horner Road (Route 639) and Old Bridge Road (Route 641) will be closed to through traffic from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, until 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, to demolish a portion of the southbound I-95 bridge over Occoquan Road, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The closure is part of the ongoing I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project.
Residents needing to reach properties along Occoquan Road will have access but will not be able to travel beyond the overpass in either direction. Through traffic will be detoured via Horner Road, Route 123 (Gordon Boulevard) and Old Bridge Road back to Occoquan Road.
On Sept. 1, the southbound I-95 general purpose lanes were shifted to the right onto the newly constructed section of the bridge over Occoquan Road, allowing crews to demolish and reconstruct the remainder of the existing bridge.
The I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project includes:
● Replacing the northbound Route 123 loop ramp to southbound I-95 with a signalized left-turn via a newly constructed ramp
● 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
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 in active work zones and to stay alert for new traffic patterns.
Real-time traffic, work zone and incident information is available at 511.vdot.virginia.gov, via the free 511Virginia mobile app, or by calling 511 anywhere in Virginia.
