An overturned tractor-trailer has closed all southbound travel lanes of Interstate 95 at mile marker 145 in Stafford County, the Virginia Department of Transportation said Friday night.
The crash is about 1.3 miles north of Exit 143 (Garrisonville Road / Aquia), VDOT’s I-95 alert feed said. Traffic was being squeezed past the scene on the left shoulder. About four miles of congestion was building toward the wreck as of VDOT’s 8:19 p.m. alert.
The motion was made by Spotsylvania County Supervisor Lori Hayes and seconded by Stafford County Supervisor Deuntay T. Diggs. It carried with one abstention.
FAMPO Administrator Ian Ollis, the Director of Transportation Planning, explained the resolution during his report. He said the draft Build America 250 bill, the proposed successor to the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, already contains two provisions relevant to earlier committee discussions on large trucks.
“Single and double lane closures are scheduled on I-95 southbound near Exit 143 (Aquia/Garrisonville) in Stafford County for pavement markings between mile markers 142-145, along with alternating lane closures between Exit 133 (Falmouth/Warrenton) and Exit 130 (Route 3) for bridge maintenance over the Rappahannock River, and construction-related closures at Exit 126 (Spotsylvania),” the Virginia Department of Transportation reported in its Fredericksburg District Weekly Travel Alert for Aug. 23–29, 2026. Work occurs primarily overnight Sunday through Thursday, weather permitting, with all lanes reopening by early morning.
Local drivers in Stafford and the Fredericksburg area should also expect daytime alternating lane closures on Route 1 for roadway reconstruction between Corporate Drive and Russell Road, plus ongoing improvements at the I-95 Exit 126 interchange that include overnight single and double lane closures and limited on-ramp restrictions.
