Weather permitting, all traffic on Route 17 northbound will be stopped overnight up to 30 minutes between midnight and 3 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8. During the full traffic stop, all lanes on Route 17 southbound and all I-95 on- and off-ramps will remain open.
The full traffic stop is needed to allow crews to move a crane in the median as part of the I-95 Southbound Rappahannock River crossing project. In addition to a new three lane bridge over the Rappahannock River, construction is underway to replace the two I-95 bridges over Route 17.
