Auxiliary Lane To Ease I-95 Bottleneck At Occoquan Open

(Woodbridge)- VDOT says a new auxiliary lane on southbound Interstate 95 from Route 123 at Exit 160 to Prince William Parkway at Exit 158 is now open. About a mile and a half of the southbound I-95 right shoulder was converted to a travel lane between the ramp from southbound Route 123 and the ramp to westbound Prince William Parkway. The auxiliary lane aims to make it easier for drivers to merge into and out of traffic between the ramps. VDOT says southbound I-95 averages about 80,000 vehicles a day in this area.
