FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Drivers should plan ahead for travel on Interstate 95 with scheduled overnight lane and ramp closures, as well as intermittent full traffic stops in the Fredericksburg area for Improve 95 program construction.

I-95 northbound and southbound will be reduced to one travel lane beginning at 10 p.m. each evening this week at various locations between exit 130 (Route 3) in the City of Fredericksburg and exit 148 (Quantico) in Stafford County.

The entrance ramp to I-95 northbound from Route 17 northbound in Stafford County will also be closed tonight and tomorrow night. Drivers will be detoured to enter I-95 northbound from Route 17 southbound by making a U-turn at the South Gateway Drive and Sanford Drive intersection.

Crews with the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project will be stopping all southbound traffic early Thursday, Oct. 21 to move a crane across the travel lanes near the exit 148 interchange.

Motorists are strongly encouraged to check 511Virginia.org for real-time information on lane closures, work zones, traffic and other incidents.

Message boards will also be posted along I-95 to alert motorists to delays ahead.
