Note: In late winter, the northbound Route 1 left turn lane to Annapolis Way will be closed for about three weeks to reconstruct the intersection. Traffic will be detoured via northbound Route 1, a u-turn at Furnace Road and southbound Route 1 back to Annapolis Way.
Route 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway) is being widened from four to six lanes between Marys Way and Annapolis Way.
The project also includes:
- Enhanced access to the Woodbridge Virginia Railway Express kiss-and-ride facility
- A new Route 1 bridge at Marumsco Creek
- Improvements to Occoquan Road, including a median and turn lanes from Route 1 to south of Horner Road
- Additional through and turn lanes on Route 1 and Occoquan Road to improve traffic operations
- A ten-foot shared-use path and six-foot sidewalk
- Demolition of several vacant buildings along the corridor
Route 1 averages 38,000 vehicles a day within the project limits.
