Additional Projects in Fredericksburg District

Caroline County

Route 1 over South River Bridge Rehabilitation

Construction is nearing completion on a $4 million project to rehabilitate the Route 1 bridge over the South River, which is located in the Ladysmith area. Since work began in Feb. 2023, the condition of the 97-year-old bridge was improved through substructure and superstructure repairs, and installation of a new concrete travel surface. All four lanes of Route 1 were scheduled to reopen to traffic on Friday, Dec. 8. Check 511virginia.org for real-time updates.

Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) Widening

Construction is nearing completion to widen Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) to four lanes between I-95 and just west of Route 1. A new raised median separates the eastbound and westbound lanes to allow for improved movement through the corridor. Additional left and right turn lanes have been built on Ladysmith Road at the Route 1 intersection. A shared use path, sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing equipment are being installed. Project completion was scheduled for May 2024.

Route 628 (Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road) Bridge Closure

Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road is closed at the bridge over the Mattaponi River, located at the King and Queen and King William county line. The road will remain closed until spring 2025 while a bridge superstructure replacement project is designed and constructed. During a routine inspection, crews identified significant deterioration in key bridge elements and the bridge was closed in March 2023 for motorist safety. Motorists should follow signs posted along the detour route.

Route 1 southbound is being widened from the off-ramp to Southpoint Parkway with an additional turn lane. A second right turn lane is being added from Route 1 southbound to Southpoint Parkway.

Route 208 (Courthouse Road) and Hood Drive

Hood Drive is reduced to a single lane between Route 1 and Route 208 (Courthouse Road), carrying only northbound traffic.
