Northbound Traffic Switches To New Lanes On Route 1 In Woodbridge

WOODBRIDGE, VA — The two northbound Route 1 through lanes between the Marumsco Creek bridge and Annapolis Way in Woodbridge will shift onto new pavement Tuesday as part of the Route 1 widening project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. Lane closures on northbound Route 1 leading up to the shift will occur Tuesday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Also on Tuesday, the Annapolis Way left-turn lane to northbound Route 1 will reopen to traffic. The southbound Route 1 through lanes between the Occoquan River and Marumsco Creek were shifted onto new pavement in December.

The $165 million Route 1 widening project includes adding a lane in each direction for a one-mile stretch on Route 1 between Marys Way and Annapolis Way, a new Route 1 bridge at Marumsco Creek, improvements to Occoquan Road, a shared-use path, sidewalk and other improvements.

The project is being financed with federal, state and county funding and is expected to be complete this fall.
