SHIRLINGTON – Lane closures will occur, weather permitting, along the 395 Express Lanes at Shirlington Circle Friday, Oct. 27 to implement a traffic shift, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The lane closures (at least one lane will be open at all times) along the southbound-running 395 Express Lanes at the Shirlington Circle south rotary bridge (located between the Shirlington and Seminary Road Express Lanes exits) will take place between 11 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 in order to temporarily shift the lanes.

The 395 Express Lanes will be shifted to the left when running southbound and shifted to the right when running northbound until mid-2024.

The shift is part of the project to rehabilitate the Shirlington Circle south rotary bridge over I-395. The project, which will improve safety for drivers and extend the overall life of the bridge, is scheduled for completion in mid-2025.
