VDOT Fredericksburg: “A new Park & Ride commuter lot in Spotsylvania County opened today at the intersection of Route 1 and Commonwealth Drive, providing nearly 700 parking spaces for ride sharing within two miles of Interstate 95.”
“With the completion of this $16.5 million project, there are now a total of 4,732 commuter parking spaces available in Spotsylvania across five Park & Ride commuter lot locations.”
“Exit 133 Off-Ramp (Falmouth/Warrenton)
Wednesday – Friday, 9 p.m. – 4:30 a.m., and Friday – Saturday, 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. Single lane closure on the off-ramp from Interstate 95 northbound to Route 17 and Route 17 Business in Stafford. The ramp will remain open throughout this work zone. Overhead sign installation.”
Overnight travelers on Interstate 95 are advised that full traffic stops and several I-95 ramp closures are scheduled this week in the Fredericksburg area as construction continues to improve the interstate.
Travelers with destinations outside the Fredericksburg area are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid overnight delays.
About a mile and a half of the southbound I-95 right shoulder was converted to a travel lane between the ramp from southbound Route 123 and the ramp to westbound Prince William Parkway. The auxiliary lane aims to make it easier for drivers to merge into and out of traffic between the ramps. Southbound I-95 averages about 80,000 vehicles a day in this area.
“Our team is proud to provide transportation solutions for northern Virginia,” said Bill Cuttler, P.E., VDOT’s Northern Virginia Deputy District Engineer. “This auxiliary ramp will allow drivers to begin exiting one mile earlier, which will make a big difference for drivers caught in southbound congestion.”
