A large pothole formed on Interstate 95 south today prompting emergency repair roadwork.
The work is slated to begin at 8 p.m., at I-95 and the Route 17 overpass in south Stafford.
The roadwork comes as I-95 south in Stafford saw a crash Wednesday afternoon that blocked two lanes of traffic near Courthouse Road. At 7 p.m. the entire stretch of the highway in Stafford County was experiencing delays.
Here’s more in a press release from Virginia Department of Transportation:
Interstate 95 southbound will be reduced to a single travel lane starting at 8 p.m. tonight at the Route 17 overpass in Stafford County.
The right and center travel lanes will close so a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crew can perform an emergency pothole repair.
The work zone and overpass are located in the vicinity of I-95 Exit 133 at Falmouth, which is just north of the Rapphannock River bridge.
Two lanes will be closed on the overpass until the repair is complete.
