Branch Civil working on I-95 Project
Branch Civil is the Lead Partner in a joint venture for the I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension Design-Build Project in Stafford County, Virginia.
This project elongates the I-95 Express Lanes with additional access points to Routes 17 and 630. Once completed, this new roadway will alleviate much of the congestion and significantly reduce travel time for commuters and residents. Roadway additions include two reversible, high-occupancy toll lanes in the existing median of I-95. When finished, the roadway will present a greater variety of travel options, including increased attractiveness of rideshare and transit use and a bypass option for vehicles with multiple occupants.
