| Weather permitting, major delays are expected overnight on March 7-10 from 11:30 p.m. – 3 a.m. on the I-95 southbound regular lanes near Fredericksburg. The construction is part of the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project. Drivers are advised to plan ahead and reroute their travel to avoid delays with closure and detour.
Overnight road closures will advance construction as crews lift and install bridge beams over the highway for future access points to the 95 Express Lanes in Stafford County. A detour will direct drivers to exit I-95 south at Exit 136/Centreport Parkway to Route 1 south, to Route 17, and back to I-95 south.
Take alternate routes to bypass delays. Here’s what to expect:
· Major delays overnight on I-95 south regular lanes starting March 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th · At 10:30 p.m. each evening, two southbound lanes will close near the exit 136 interchange · All regular lanes on I-95 south will close at 11:30 p.m. with detour until 3 a.m. Signs and police will direct drivers along the recommended detour route to Route 1 south to Route 17 back to I-95 south.
Reroute your drive to prepare for these nightly road closures. |

About the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension Project
To make traveling through the I-95 corridor in Stafford County easier and faster, the Fredericksburg Extension (Fred Ex) will pick up where the 95 Express Lanes currently end and will extend 10 miles south near Fredericksburg, VA. The lengthened lanes will connect with the 395 Express Lanes to create a connected corridor spanning nearly 50 miles from the Fredericksburg area to the D.C. line.
This project will also offer new access points to the existing 95 Express Lanes, create new ramps that provide direct access to Quantico and Courthouse Road, and add seven new bridges. When the Fred Ex project is completed, it will connect with the 395 Express Lanes, offering drivers an uninterrupted Express Lanes corridor between the Potomac River and near the Rappahannock River.
More information on the Fred Ex project and 95 Express Lanes is available at www.expresslanes.com. |
