Interstate 95 southbound has reopened at mile marker 113 in Caroline County following a fatal tractor-trailer crash earlier Wednesday morning. Two southbound lanes are now open, though a single lane remains closed.
Virginia State Police responded at 4:51 a.m. to the two-vehicle crash in which one tractor-trailer rear-ended another. The driver of the striking tractor-trailer died from injuries sustained in the collision. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The crash remains under investigation.
Stafford County drivers will lose access to a key stretch of Rock Hill Church Road starting Monday, June 1.
The Virginia Department of Transportation plans to close Route 644 between Dunbar Drive and Van Horn Lane for a two-year bridge replacement over Aquia Creek.
Drivers using the I-95/395 E-ZPass Express Lanes should note an earlier switch in direction for summer travel. Starting Thursday, May 21, 2026, the daytime reversal will begin at 10 a.m. instead of 11 a.m. to better accommodate increased summer traffic.
Overnight reversals at 1 a.m. and the Saturday reversal at 2 p.m. remain unchanged.
