The Virginia Department of Transportation has issued a traffic advisory and a revised work schedule for I-95 near Fredricksburg.

The department cancelled scheduled work that would have detoured traffic last night. The department said the work – and the detours – have been rescheduled for next week, on Monday night, March 7.
However, tonight's scheduled detour of northbound traffic will proceed as scheduled. Construction will continue on Wednesday night, March 2, closing one lane on northbound I-95. Motorists should expect delays of at least 45 minutes. The delays and detours will take place for approximately 10 miles of I-95 in Stafford County just north of Fredericksburg.
Monday night’s work was postponed due to an Atlantic coast storm.
Here is the updated schedule from the Virginia DOT:
• Tuesday night, March 1 - I-95 northbound closed from 10 pm to 4:30 am. All northbound traffic will be detoured to northbound Route 1 at Exit 133 (Route 17/Falmouth). Northbound delays: 45 minutes to 90 minutes, barring major incidents.
• Wednesday night, March 2 - One lane closed on northbound I-95 from 8 pm to 5 am. Northbound lane will re-open at 4:30 am. Northbound delays: Traffic will be stopped in intervals of 10 to 15 minutes beginning at 10 pm. Crews will monitor traffic flow to prevent major delays
• Monday night, March 7 - I-95 southbound closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. All southbound traffic will be detoured to southbound Route 1 at Exit 140 (Route 630/Stafford). Southbound delays: 45 minutes to 90 minutes, barring major incidents
• Tuesday night, March 8 - One lane closed on southbound I-95 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Southbound delays: Traffic will be stopped for 10- to 15-minute intervals beginning at 10 p.m. Crews will monitor traffic flow to prevent major delays.
The department notd that motorists can use Route 301 as an alternate route if their destination is north of the Fredericksburg region.
The department said it will use electronic message boards and Highway Advisory Radio to alert motorists of the I-95 detour and lane closures. The department will adjust traffic light timing on Route 1 so that traffic moves through the detour as efficiently as possible. The detour route is a four-lane roadway (two lanes in each direction) that has three traffic signals, with a signal located at the Route 630 ramp.
