Full Lane Closures Early July 7
Interstate 95 southbound traffic at Fredericksburg will be stopped for two 15-minute periods early Tuesday morning, July 7, 2015, as workers move a crane across travel lanes at the site of the new Fall Hill Avenue overpass construction site.
Virginia State Police will slowly roll traffic on I-95 southbound to a stop just after midnight at the Fall Hill Avenue overpass, located between Exit 133/Falmouth and Exit 130/Route 3 at Fredericksburg. The traffic stop is estimated to last 15 minutes. Traffic will be released to proceed once the crane is in the median.
Shortly before 2 a.m. police will gradually stop traffic on I-95 southbound again for up to 15 minutes, allowing the crane to travel back to the interstate shoulder.
