The Virginia Department of Health’s Rappahannock Area Health District (RAHD) will begin to vaccinate essential workers in Phase 1c beginning on Thursday, March 25, 2021. RAHD will continue to prioritize vaccination for anyone in Phase 1a and 1b who registers to receive it.

More people who live in rural Spotsylvania County will now have the option of having high-speed internet beamed into their homes.

Construction crews are about to remove a sharp curve in Old Bridge Road, a vital link to Interstate 95.
The curve is at Occoquan Road, and it’s one of the sharpest turns on any six-lane street in the region. The $11.5 million project will realign the highway south of Occoquan Road. Transportation officials hope the improvements work to ease traffic congestion that forms in the street’s elbow, which backs up to Route 123 at Interstate 95.
