Do you spend a lot of time driving up and down I-95? Or maybe just sitting in traffic?
Virginia officials are developing a plan to study all 179 miles of I-95 in Virginia from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge down to the North Carolina border. The hope is that new information from the study will improve commute times and consistency along the Interstate.
Residents are invited to a series of in-person meetings this summer and fall, and an online engagement tool is available for those unable to attend the meetings.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board "has initiated a data-driven study to develop the I-95 Corridor Plan which will identify key problem areas along the corridor, and identify potential solutions and areas for additional review and study," according to a press release.
"Feedback provided by members of communities, industries, and other stakeholders will be considered as team members study the corridor throughout the summer and prepare a draft plan report in the fall. The CTB plans to report findings to the General Assembly in December, prior to the opening of Session in January 2020."
How to Provide Feedback
The closest in-person meeting to our area is this Thursday, July 18 at South County Middle School (8700 Laurel Crest Dr., Lorton) from 6 - 8 p.m.
If you are unable to attend that meeting, go to VACorridor95.org to access the online engagement tool.
Comments can be submitted at the meetings, through the online engagement tool or via email to VA95corridorplan@vdot.virginia.gov. The first comment period will end August 21, 2019.
