Upcoming Traffic Changes At Prince William Pkwy And Minnieville Rd

Press release from Prince William County Government:

Drivers traveling through the intersection of Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road should prepare for temporary left-turn restrictions and detours as construction advances on the Prince William Parkway at Minnieville Road Interchange Project.

Beginning Sept. 22, most left-turn movements at the intersection will be temporarily restricted to allow crews to continue construction of the new interchange. Through traffic and all right turns will remain open in every direction. The left turn from northbound Prince William Parkway (toward Old Bridge Road) to westbound Minnieville Road (toward Dale Blvd) will also remain open.

Drivers affected by the temporary left-turn restrictions will be directed to the following detours:

Motorists should follow posted detour signs, allow additional travel time and use caution while traveling through the work zone.

The temporary traffic pattern is part of ongoing construction of a new grade-separated interchange at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road. The project will replace the existing signalized intersection with a Single Point Urban Interchange, or SPUI, with Prince William Parkway traveling beneath Minnieville Road.

The new interchange is designed to improve traffic flow and increase capacity at an intersection that experiences heavy through and turning movements. It will also help accommodate anticipated future traffic in the area, including development of the nearby Quartz District.

Drivers are encouraged to stay alert for changing traffic patterns throughout construction and follow posted signs when traveling through the area.
