Marine Corps To Close I-395 HOV Lanes
POSTED: 9:21 am EST November 9, 2006
QUANTICO, Va. -- The U.S. Marine Corps is about to do something not even the White House could do, shut down northern Virginia's high occupancy vehicle lanes on a Friday.
Interactive Traffic Maps
The restricted lanes on Interstate 395 will be closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday from Washington's 14th Street Bridge to State Route 234 in Dumfries, Va. The HOV lanes will be reserved for several hundred buses taking guests to the dedication of the new Marine Corps Museum on the Corps 231st birthday.
Friday is also the day the nation observes Veterans Day, and a representative said restrictions could be lifted because traffic volumes are typically lower on federal holidays.
