Under Construction: Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road), West of Interstate 95
Two projects will be accomplished through a single construction contract. A $21.6 million project will widen Mudd Tavern Road, and a $8 million project will establish Route 2092, a new secondary road parallel to Mudd Tavern Road that will intersect with Dan Bell Lane and South Roxbury Mill Road.
A roundabout approximately halfway between I-95 and Route 1 will provide access for travelers seeking Route 2092.
Sidewalk and a shared use path will be added along sections of Mudd Tavern Road, creating new space to walk, run or bike. Crosswalks and new traffic signal equipment will be installed at pedestrian crossings. New sidewalk will connect with existing sidewalk on the I-95 overpass.
Mudd Tavern Road will remain open to traffic during construction. Motorists should be alert for construction crews and slow-moving equipment operating in the work zone.
Periodic single lane closures and temporary traffic shifts will be required during construction. Most lane closures will be scheduled to avoid peak travel times on weekday mornings and afternoons.
Scheduled lane closures for the week ahead will be shared each Friday through Hot Spots, a list of scheduled lane closures for the following week in VDOT's Fredericksburg District.
Benefits
- Additional travel lanes will accommodate current and future traffic on Mudd Tavern Road
- New sidewalk and a shared use path will be built to enhance pedestrian travel
