AUXILIARY ROUTES
HOV FACILITIES Interstate 95 extends the twin-lane barrier-separated High-occupancy Vehicle lanes that begin on I-395 at the 14th Street Bridge in Washington. These lanes have been extended several times, most recently to just south of Woodbridge . As part of the Quantico Creek bridge rebuilding project, a currently unused three-lane 300-foot long bridge was constructed in the median just south of the southern HOV terminus for use if and when the HOV facilities are extended. It was previously used as a detour bridge and retains its lane striping from such use.
