Major Backups Expected Due to I-95 Bridge Fixes

Delays on I-95 in Virginia are expected as work to fix a hole and structural issues begins. News4’s Adam Tuss tells what will happen and how it will affect drivers.

Drivers should expect major traffic delays on Interstate 95 as the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) makes repairs to a bridge.

Three areas of a crumbling bridge over Neabsco Creek, just south of Potomac Mills Mall, need extensive repairs, WTOP-FM reported.

Two southbound lanes of the four-lane bridge will be closed from 9 p.m. Saturday, April 29, through 6 a.m. Monday, May 1, and again from 10 p.m. Friday, May 5, through 6 a.m. Monday, May 8.

VDOT has released a map of potential alternative routes.

VDOT Senior Structural Bridge Engineer Brian Morrison said a hole opened up in the bridge deck last fall, prompting a temporary repair. This project will do more extensive repair on that area and other areas of the bridge.
