New Access Point To I-95 South To Open In Woodbridge

WOODBRIDGE, VA – A new way for Woodbridge drivers to access I-95 south will open on Thursday, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Starting on Thursday night, drivers on northbound Route 123 (Gordon Boulevard) will be able to use a new left-turn lane at the traffic signal to access I-95 south, VDOT said in a release.

Weather permitting, the new left-turn option will launch at 10 p.m.

The new turn will allow northbound Route 123 drivers to access the existing southbound Route 123 ramp to southbound I-95. The existing northbound Route 123 loop ramp to southbound I-95 will be permanently closed and the existing merge point on southbound I-95 from northbound Route 123 will be eliminated.

VDOT says these changes will improve safety and traffic flow on southbound I-95 approaching the Route 123 overpass.

The new left-turn option is part of the I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project, which also includes widening the southbound Route 123 ramp to I-95 south and other changes.

The project’s construction work on I-95 south is expected to end in late 2027, with the entire improvement project scheduled for completion the following year.
