The I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project is replacing the Truslow Road bridge to accommodate the construction of two new reversible Express Lanes in the median.

Crews are currently building the 10-mile extension of the I-95 Express Lanes in the median of I-95 from south of Exit 143 (Route 610) to the vicinity of Exit 133 (Route 17).

The new two-lane Truslow Road overpass will be slightly wider than the existing bridge, and it will be lengthened to accommodate any future I-95 widening.

The work will be underway for nine months. Truslow Road is expected to reopen at the overpass in fall 2020.
