VDOT Warns Motorists To Prepare For I-95 Lane Closures

STAFFORD COUNTY, VA — Motorists should expect overnight lane closures and delays on Interstate 95 in Stafford County through early Saturday, Jan. 25, the Virginia Department of Transportation said. The lane closures are needed to allow crews to install a concrete barrier to prepare for the replacement of the Truslow Road overpass bridge.

I-95 southbound will be reduced to one lane overnight on Wednesday, Jan. 22, starting at 10 p.m., in the work zone. The double lane closures will end at 4:30 a.m. on Thursday.

The Truslow Road overpass is expected to close on Monday, Jan. 27 and will be replaced as part of the I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project.

On I-95 northbound, a single lane will be closed between mile markers 134 and 135, which is north of Exit 133 (Route 17), from 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. each night through Friday and from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The day work on Wednesday will allow crews to remove portions of guardrail for the upcoming project.

On I-95 southbound, expect a single lane closure at 9 p.m. followed by a double lane closure at 10 p.m. on Wednesday. The work will end at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The work zone will be between mile markers 135 and 134, which is south of Exit 136 (Centreport Parkway).

Expect a single closure in the same location from 9 p.m. on Thursday to 6 a.m. on Friday and from 10 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Saturday.

The I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project is replacing the Truslow Road bridge to accommodate construction of two new reversible express lanes in the median. Crews are currently building a 10-mile extension of the I-95 Express Lanes in the median of I-95 from south of Exit 143 (Route 610) to the vicinity of Exit 133 (Route 17).

The new two-lane Truslow Road overpass will be slightly wider than the existing bridge. Truslow Road is expected to reopen at the overpass in fall 2020.
