FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Travelers on Interstate 95 southbound are advised that lane closures and intermittent full traffic stops are scheduled overnight on the evenings of Monday, Dec. 19 through Thursday, Dec. 22, ending by 5 a.m. Friday, Dec. 23, for construction on the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project.

Between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. the following morning, varying single to double lane closures are scheduled nightly south of exit 140 (Courthouse Road) in Stafford County, and between exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) and exit 133 (Falmouth/Warrenton) in Stafford.

During these work zones, all southbound traffic may be stopped for up to 30-minute intervals between midnight and 3 a.m. each morning.

Crews are working to finish construction on a new American Legion Road overpass, scheduled to reopen to traffic in January 2023. Several miles south, construction crews continue construction to build a future 95 Express Lanes flyover ramp.

This work has been scheduled to occur weather permitting.

No I-95 lane closures are scheduled between noon Friday, Dec. 23 and noon Tuesday, Dec. 27, due to year-end holiday travel restrictions.
