A Stafford County man faces charges after a pursuit in the county’s northern section.

Construction has finished significantly ahead of schedule to replace the Potomac Creek bridge on Route 1 in Stafford County.

A portion of Interstate 95 north in Stafford County is closed due to multiple crashes.

State authorities closed the the highway near mile post 140, at the exit for Stafford Hosptial.


Crews working to build new toll lanes on the highway will erect new bridge beams for a new access ramp to the future I-66 Express Lanes. Two-way traffic will run on the west side of I-66 so that crews can safely install bridge beams over I-66 East. This work is part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.

The ramps from Route 234 Business North and South to I-66 East will also be closed during this period.
