NB I-395 HOV Lanes to Close an Hour Earlier

By WTOP Staff

I-395 at Washington BlvdThe HOV schedule on I-395 will change by an hour starting today, to help ease congestion caused by various construction projects.

The northbound HOV lanes will now close during the week at 10:00 a.m. rather than 11:00, VDOT announced, and the southbound lanes will open at noon instead of 1:00 p.m.

The change in schedule will be in effect until mid-October “to help ease southbound congestion during construction of the 95 Express Lanes, the 95 Shoulder Lane project in Prince William County, and BRAC related work in the I-395/Seminary Road area along with routine summer road maintenance,” VDOT announced in a press release.
