Additional Projects in Fredericksburg District

Caroline County

Route 1 over South River Bridge Rehabilitation

Construction is substantially complete on a $4 million project to rehabilitate the Route 1 bridge over the South River, which is located in the Ladysmith area. The project improved the condition of the 97-year-old bridge through substructure and superstructure repairs, and installation of a new concrete travel surface. All four lanes of Route 1 have reopened.

Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) Widening

Construction is substantially complete to widen Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) to four lanes between I-95 and just west of Route 1, with all new travel lanes open. Final construction activities are underway. All work will be complete by 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 604 (Herring Creek Road)

Herring Creek Road is closed to through traffic between Route 628 (Dorrell Road) and Route 600 (W. River Road) through early March 2024. Crews are addressing bridge scour, which is the erosion of soil around a bridge’s foundation. Addressing the scour improves the bridge condition and ensures it remains open to carry vehicles of all weights. Motorists should follow signs posted along the detour route.

Route 629 (Jacks Creek Road)

A portion of Jacks Creek Road is closed through Jan. 2024 for the installation of a concrete box culvert. The project is replacing the existing culvert, which consists of three corrugated metal drainage pipes built in 1943. A detour is in place.

Route 637 (County Bridge Road)

County Bridge Road is closed to through traffic at the bridge over Cat Point Creek due to damage following heavy rain and flooding in summer 2021. A bridge replacement is under construction. County Bridge Road will remain closed to through traffic until the new bridge reopens by April 2024.

Spotsylvania County

I-95 Southbound Exit 126 Off-Ramp and Route 1 Southbound

A second right turn lane is under construction from the I-95 southbound off-ramp at exit 126 onto Route 1 southbound. 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. Traffic islands will be installed along Southpoint Parkway as a safety improvement to allow left turns into driveways but restrict through and left-turning traffic exiting from side streets. Additional right turn lane added to Southpoint Parkway to Route 1 southbound. Project completion in Aug. 2025.

Route 3 and Orange Plank Road

Construction is underway to modify the intersection of Route 3 and Orange Plank Rd. to a new traffic pattern to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and reduce conflict points. Project completion in spring 2024.

Route 17 (Mills Drive) Overpass Replacement and Widening

Construction started in Dec. 2020 to replace the existing two-lane interstate overpass on Route 17 with a four-lane bridge. Route 17 is being widened to four lanes until just east of the Hospital Boulevard/Germanna Point Drive intersection. A shared-use path, sidewalk, and pedestrian crossing equipment will be added as part of the project. Project contract completion is Feb. 2024.

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. Southbound traffic should follow the posted detour along Courthouse Road and Route 1 southbound. New right and left turn lanes are under construction at an entrance to a future U.S. Veterans Health Administration outpatient clinic. Additional turn lanes will be built on northbound Hood Drive approaching Courthouse Road. A raised median on Hood Drive will separate northbound and southbound traffic between Courthouse Road and McGowan Drive. Additional sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing equipment will be installed at the intersection. Project completion in June 2024.

Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) Widening

Mudd Tavern Road is being widened to four lanes between I-95 and Route 1. A new secondary access route, Route 2092, will be built parallel to Mudd Tavern Road, and will connect with South Roxbury Mill Road and Dan Bell Lane. Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road/Morris Road) is reduced to a single lane approaching the traffic signal at the Route 1 intersection through spring 2024 to allow space for widening activities. Project completion in May 2025.

Westmoreland County

Route 621 (North Tidwells Road) Bridge Replacement

North Tidwells Road is closed for a bridge replacement project over an unnamed tributary of the Lower Machodoc Creek. The road will be closed to traffic at the bridge until Jan. 2024. The project is replacing an existing timber deck bridge with a new concrete structure on concrete abutments and piles. Vehicles of all legal weights will be able to cross the new bridge. A detour route is posted.

Route 658 (Monroe Bay Circle)

Monroe Bay Circle is reduced to a single travel lane with a temporary bridge spanning Monroe Creek. A temporary traffic signal is directing one-way, alternating traffic. The bridge is a temporary measure to maintain traffic flow while a bridge replacement project is advanced.
