STAFFORD, Va. – The folks at Stafford County’s Capital Projects department just let Potomac Local News know they’re holding a design public hearing on a project that could ease traffic at a key local intersection.
The Poplar Road and Truslow Road Intersection Improvement Project aims to widen Poplar Road and add new turning lanes at its intersection with Truslow and Robeli Farms roads. The hearing happens Wednesday, August 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Stafford High School, 63 Stafford Indians Lane in Fredericksburg.
Locals can check out the design plans, learn how nearby properties might be affected, and share feedback. The upgrades include a dedicated left-turn lane on southbound Poplar, multiple lanes on northbound Poplar, and a right-turn lane on Truslow to improve traffic flow. Robeli Farms Road will also be improved for better visibility.

The Stafford County Department of Capital Projects will host a design public hearing for the Poplar Road and Truslow Road Intersection Improvement Project.

The project will widen approximately 0.22 miles of Poplar Road (Route 616) at the intersection with Truslow Road (Route 652) and Robeli Farms Road (Route 2468). The project will provide dedicated left‐turn, through and right‐turn lanes on northbound Poplar Road at the intersection.
