Additional Projects in Fredericksburg District

Route 638 (South River Road) Bridge Replacement

Route 3/14 Westbound Bridge Rehabilitation

A major bridge rehabilitation project is underway on the Route 3/Route 14 westbound bridge over Burke Mill Stream, which is located at the Mathews and Gloucester line. Crews are improving the 76-year-old structure by replacing the bridge deck, beams, bridge railings, and guardrails. In early-to-mid October 2024, the westbound Route 3/14 travel lanes will close at Windsor Road and eastbound and westbound Route 3/14 traffic will both cross the eastbound bridge over Burke Mill Stream, with one lane open in each direction. Left turns from Windsor Road to Route 14 eastbound are prohibited. Project completion in Nov. 2025.

Route 621 (Bruington Road) over Dickeys Swamp

Bruington Road is closed to through traffic at the bridge over Dickeys Swamp, with a posted detour along Route 14 and Route 360. This is one of multiple bridges undergoing repair as part of the $3.1 million bridge maintenance project in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula to address structure scour. Scour is the erosion of soil around a bridge’s foundation. Weather permitting, the road will reopen in mid-Dec. 2024.

Route 628 (Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road) Bridge Closure

Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road is closed at the bridge over the Mattaponi River, located at the King and Queen and King William county line. A detour route is posted. Construction is underway on a major bridge rehabilitation project. The road will remain closed until early June 2025. The bridge closed for motorist safety in March 2023 after a routine inspection found significant deterioration in key bridge elements.

I-95 Southbound Exit 126 Off-Ramp and Route 1 Southbound

A second right turn lane is under construction from the I-95 southbound off-ramp at exit 126 onto Route 1 southbound. Route 1 southbound is being widened from the off-ramp to Southpoint Parkway with an additional turn lane. A second right turn lane is being added from Route 1 southbound to Southpoint Parkway. Traffic islands will be installed along Southpoint Parkway as a safety improvement to allow left turns into driveways but restrict through and left-turning traffic exiting from side streets. Project completion in Aug. 2025.

Route 3 Westbound Culvert Installation at Lick Run

Crews installed the new culvert on the weekend of Sept. 13-16. The new concrete box culvert is 36 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 8 feet high. It replaced a bridge that had been installed in 1932 and was in poor condition. Periodic single lane closures will continue at Lick Run for paving and other final construction activities. Project completion in early Nov. 2024.

Route 17 (Mills Drive) Overpass Replacement and Widening

Route 17 was widened from two to four lanes from just east of the Hospital Boulevard/Germanna Point Drive intersection to west of a new four-lane I-95 overpass built by this project. Improvements included a shared-use path, sidewalk, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing signal equipment. New travel lanes are open, but additional construction activity continues. Project completion was originally scheduled for Feb. 2024.

Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) Widening

Mudd Tavern Road is being widened to four lanes between I-95 and Route 1. A new secondary access route, Route 2092, will be built parallel to Mudd Tavern Road, and will connect with South Roxbury Mill Road and Dan Bell Lane. Project completion in May 2025.

Route 658 (Monroe Bay Circle)

Monroe Bay Circle is reduced to a single travel lane with a temporary bridge spanning Monroe Creek. A temporary traffic signal is directing one-way, alternating traffic. The bridge is a temporary measure to maintain traffic flow while a bridge replacement project is advanced.
