Route 1 won't be a picnic, either.

The Virginia Department of Transportation will begin closing southbound lanes Friday starting at 9:30 p.m. just before the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Russell Road to Garrisonville Road. 

From 1 a.m. until 5 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, all southbound lanes in that stretch will be closed.
