If you're on I-95 or crossing the Rappahannock this week, plan for lane closures. The Virginia Department of Transportation listed scheduled closures for Nov. 1–6, weather permitting, and the weekly roadwork roundup lists the same work.
Crews are installing pavement markers and rumble strips after recent paving at Exit 143, and they're gathering soil samples along I-95 with mobile lane closures. We suggest leaving extra time on Route 3 westbound in Spotsylvania, where a right lane is closed from 4 a.m. to noon for roadway reconstruction.
- Falmouth Bridge: alternating lanes, Mon.–Fri., 7 p.m.–6 a.m.
- Route 1 at Russell Road: lane reductions, Wed.–Fri., 7 p.m.–7 a.m.
- Route 360 Downing Bridge: one-way alternating, Thu.–Fri., 8 p.m.–5 a.m.
- Truslow Road in Stafford: alternating one-way traffic for paving, Sun.–Thu.
