Upcoming Traffic Changes at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road as Interchange Construction Advances

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:

• Eastbound Minnieville Road (toward Smoketown Road): Drivers will not be able to turn left at northbound Prince William Parkway (toward Old Bridge Road). Instead, drivers will turn left onto Amethyst Avenue, continue to Quartz Avenue and then turn left onto Prince William Parkway.
• Westbound Minnieville Road (toward Dale Blvd): Drivers will not be able to turn left onto southbound Prince William Parkway (toward I-95). Instead, drivers will turn right onto Elm Farm Road, turn left onto the Temporary East (Detour) Road and then turn left onto Prince William Parkway.
• Southbound Prince William Parkway (toward I-95): Drivers will not be able to turn left onto eastbound Minnieville Road (toward Smoketown Road). Drivers will turn left onto the Temporary East (Detour) Road, continue to Elm Farm Road and then turn left onto Minnieville Road.

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.
