FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The Interstate 95 northbound temporary off-ramp to exit 133 (Route 17) to Falmouth and Warrenton in Stafford County will close overnight next week for pavement repair.
Starting at 10 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, the off-ramp will close to traffic until 3 a.m. Monday, April 17.
Weather permitting, the ramp closure is expected to occur one more consecutive night at 10 p.m. on Monday through 3 a.m. Tuesday, April 18.
During this time, northbound travelers seeking Route 17 northbound or Route 17 Business will be detoured to continue traveling to exit 136 (Centreport Parkway).
Drivers are encouraged to use the most convenient alternate route depending on their destination.
Crews with the I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project met a major milestone by opening a new northbound I-95 bridge in December 2022.
Currently, three lanes of I-95 northbound are crossing the Rappahannock River between the City of Fredericksburg and Stafford County on the new bridge. The original northbound bridge is closed for a maintenance project.
Northbound I-95 traffic will remain in this long-term traffic pattern until spring 2024 when the $132 million project is expected to be complete.
