Drivers can expect multiple lane closures on northbound Interstate 95 near Exit 158 at the Prince William Parkway (Route 289) during the overnight hours tonight and Thursday night.

The lane closures were rescheduled; VDOT originally scheduled them for Monday and Tuesday night.

According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), I-95 lanes will begin closing at 9 p.m. each night, and there will be intermittent full closures of I-95 after midnight, lasting between 20 to 30 minutes. All lanes will reopen by 4 a.m. the next morning. In the event of inclement weather, work would take place on Wednesday night.

The closures are needed for crews to erect a new overhead sign. This work is part of the 95 Shoulder Improvement Project, which includes new auxiliary lanes and widened safety shoulders on a seven-mile stretch of I-95 between Dumfries Road (Route 234) and the Prince William Parkway. New guardrails and lighting are being added as well.
