Default Warning to all Beltway Travelers for Weekend of 7/15-7/18

Warning:
Heaviest Traffic Impacts of 11-year Construction Project Just Ahead --
>From 8:00 p.m., Friday, July 15th to 5:00 a.m., Monday, July 18th.
northbound I-95/Beltway Outer Loop just west of the Wilson Bridge will
be reduced to one lane. Ramps from north and southbound US Route 1 to
the Outer Loop will be closed with detours to Telegraph Road. The ramp
from northbound I-95/Outer Loop to northbound US Route 1 also will be
closed with detours to Telegraph Road. To help divert traffic, where
northbound I-95 joins the Capital Beltway at the Springfield
Interchange, the ramp to the Wilson Bridge will be closed.
Long-distance traffic will be routed around the Beltway in the opposite
direction. Local travelers will be directed up I-395. Reducing the
Outer Loop to one lane just west of the Wilson Bridge is forecasted to
result in weekend backups of 10 to 15 miles, with 60 to 90 minute
delays. All travelers are urged to avoid the area, if at all possible.
Long distance travelers should consider bypasing Washington DC with
alternate routes including US 301 to the east and US 17 to I-81 to the
west.
