New ramp opening part of big changes coming to I-95/Route 17 near Fredericksburg in coming weeks

In the coming weeks, drivers who use Route 17 in Stafford County will see big changes near Interstate 95.

Starting Tuesday, August 2, drivers on I-95 south headed to Route 17 north towards Warrenton or Route 17 south toward Falmouth will use a new, permanent ramp half a mile before the decision point between local and through lanes. The new ramp is just north of the Truslow Road overpass.

The permanent traffic pattern will divide local traffic between Route 17 and Route 3 at an earlier point to reduce merging and weaving approaching the exit 133 interchange at Route 17.
