VDOT Fredericksburg: “Interstate 95 travelers in the Fredericksburg area may encounter brief delays today as a mobile operation of Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews pre-treat the interstate with a brine solution ahead of light snow forecast for Monday, Jan. 15. Pre-treatment will begin around 9 a.m. today and continue through the day until complete on Interstate 95 northbound and southbound between exits 98 (Route 30/Doswell) and 150 (Route 619/Triangle).”

“Virginia State Police will escort the slow-moving equipment to ensure tanker trucks applying the brine and crash cushion trucks can travel together. Tanker trucks travel at slower speeds to spray the brine solution on the road with precision, and to ensure an adequate amount is absorbed in the pavement.”
