FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The folks at VDOT just shared the latest weekly roadwork alerts for our area, and here’s what drivers need to know from Aug. 17–23, 2025.
On I-95, expect overnight lane closures in Spotsylvania and Stafford counties for paving and bridge inspections—from Exit 118 (Thornburg) to Exit 130 (Route 3), plus between Exit 140 (Courthouse Road) and Exit 148 (Quantico). Police will be directing traffic during mobile paving operations in some zones.
In Spotsylvania County, local drivers will see lane closures on Route 3, Route 208, Route 610, and Harrison Road for pavement marking, signal work, and widening projects. Harrison Road will have a full overnight closure from Tuesday through Thursday—detours will be in place.
Fredericksburg drivers should watch for night work on Route 1 and Route 2, plus daytime lane closures on Fall Hill Avenue for ongoing intersection upgrades.
In Stafford County, expect lane closures and paving work on Route 1, Route 17 Business, Barrett Heights Road, Onville Road, and others. Multiple neighborhood streets will also be marked or repaved—so keep an eye out for flaggers and alternating traffic.
