As the Veterans Affairs Clinic enters the final year of construction, there are several transportation improvements north of Exit 126 in Fredericksburg to improve access to this needed facility for area veterans.
This May, the ribbon will be cut on one of those improvements: the Route 17 bridge over Interstate 95 at Mills Drive, just south of the clinic. The $23.5 million project includes a four-lane bridge with pedestrian accommodations. The old bridge was “structurally deficient,” VDOT said.
The meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, March 27, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Anne Moncure Elementary School, aims to inform the community about a significant infrastructure project that could reshape transportation in the area.
The project, which focuses on the stretch of Onville Road from Worth Avenue to Hulvey Drive, proposes the construction of a continuous two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) and sidewalks on both sides of the road. These improvements are designed to enhance traffic flow, increase capacity, and bolster pedestrian safety along the corridor.

The five levels of spicy chicken is a feature at Crimson Coward, so at the recent opening of this area’s first restaurant, they put it out there that the “Burrrrn Baby, Burn” variety is only for the super spicey palettes.
Their description is “our hottest level,” but Crimson chef Nabil Asad isn’t sugar-coating it. “It’s very, very hot,” he said, pointing at the spices they use. You really have to have a high tolerance,” he said. It’s a variety of “Nashville Hot,” with an extra kick that’s Crimson Coward’s specialty.
