Schools, HOV Lanes Open Tomorrow

Fairfax County and Falls Church city schools will be open tomorrow even though it is a federal holiday to honor former president Ronald Reagan, who died Saturday.

Closing schools tomorrow would have required officials to extend the school year past its scheduled closing June 18.

Also tomorrow, the rush hour carpool restrictions on Interstates 395, 95, 66 and the Dulles Toll Road have been lifted. The carpool lanes will be open to all traffic all day.

In addition, Virginia transportation officials said, there will be no lane closures on Northern Virginia interstates, including the Wilson Bridge and Springfield Interchange construction projects.
