VDOT says the American Legion Road bridge over I-95 in Stafford is now officially open!

A new overpass was required to accommodate construction underneath of two reversible 95 Express Lanes in the interstate median.

All work is scheduled weather permitting. Real-time information on work zones and lane closures is available on 511Virginia

Rain will continue overnight before cold front moves into the area Friday

VDOT says the exit point is again north of the Rappahannock River in Stafford, ending a temporary pattern that had northbound traffic exiting south of the bridge

Hazardous road conditions may develop with a wintry mix potential early Thursday, heavy rain Thursday, followed Friday by high winds and below-freezing temperatures that could create icy, slick surfaces

Nighttime lane closures and intermittent full traffic stops will be underway for the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project

Once the ramp opens, crews will close original Rappahannock River bridge for maintenance work, and all I-95 northbound traffic will use the new bridge

Starting at 10 p.m., I-95 northbound will be reduced to one lane near exit 133 (Route 17) to exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) in Stafford County followed by intermittent full traffic stops

As extended work zone ends, three I-95 northbound lanes are now crossing the bridge over the Rappahannock River between Fredericksburg and Stafford

Expect heavy I-95 northbound traffic from 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 5 to 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 between exit 130 (route 3) and exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) to move traffic onto the new bridge.

The study aims to identify solutions to moving people and goods along east-west corridors in the region to compliment improvements

VDOT says Route 17 signals are in full color operation at the I-95 Interchange.

Northbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane over multiple evenings, with a temporary traffic pattern installed during the day, as a new interstate bridge opens over the Rappahannock River

Route 17 northbound ramp to enter I-95 northbound at exit 133 will close between midnight and 3 a.m. as part of I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing Project
