Notice of Temporary Closure of Lansdowne Road April 9 – 27

The City of Fredericksburg will have an emergency road project underway that will close Lansdowne Road to through traffic from April 9-27, 2018.
While the detour is in place, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will adjust traffic signal timing patterns to accommodate the expected traffic increase in Spotsylvania County at the following intersections:
  • Route 1 and Mine Road
  • Route 2/Route 17 Business (Tidewater Trail) and Benchmark Road
  • Mine Road and Lansdowne Road
  • Mine Road and Falcon Drive
  • Mine Road and Hardwood Lane

Why: A sinkhole was discovered at the edge of the roadway and repairs need to be made as soon as possible to prevent the problem from affecting the travel lanes.

Where: Midway between Route 2 & 17 (Tidewater Trail) and the CSX Railroad crossing. It is near the entrance to the El Rodeo restaurant.
