FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Interstate 95 travelers should anticipate overnight delays this week near the exit 148 (Quantico) interchange with remaining bridge work for the future Express Lanes access point.

Starting at 10 p.m., I-95 southbound will be reduced to one lane each evening as construction crews build the flyover bridge to Russell Road as part of the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project.

Between midnight and 3 a.m., all I-95 southbound traffic will be stopped intermittently up to 30-minutes at a time to allow crews to maneuver large equipment in the work zone.

The full traffic stops are scheduled early Tuesday, Aug. 16 through early Friday, Aug. 19.

Virginia State Police will assist with traffic control by clearing the congestion before the next full traffic stop.

The new flyover bridge will give drivers access to the Express Lanes to and from Russell Road. It’s one of three new access points being built as part of the project in Stafford County. Once construction is complete, travelers will be able to access the Express Lanes at exit 148, exit 140 (Courthouse Road) and exit 133 (Route 17).
