Duke Street Ramp to Northbound I-395 Closing Overnight This Week

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- During overnight hours on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13 and 14, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close the ramp from Duke Street (Route 236) to I-395 North to remove construction barriers, VDOT announced Tuesday. Motorists should expect delays.

Each night, beginning at 10:30 p.m., crews will close the ramp and detour traffic from eastbound Duke Street to North Van Dorn Street to Seminary Road and westbound Duke Street to North Beauregard Street to Seminary Road, and back to I-395 North.

The ramp will be reopened by 4:30 a.m. the following mornings. Removal of the barrier walls is one of the last steps of the I-395 HOV Ramp and Auxiliary Lane project. In the coming weeks, crews will be paving and striping before the whole project is complete in mid to late May 2016. More information about the project is available at I-395 HOV Ramp and Auxiliary Lane.
