Spotsylvania County
I-95 Exit 126 Area Improvements
Route 1 is being widened to six lanes near the exit 126 interchange. This will provide space to build a second left turn lane for traffic entering I-95 northbound and southbound. An auxiliary lane will be built on I-95 northbound from the on-ramp to the Route 208 (Courthouse Road) overpass to help entering vehicles merge with interstate traffic. The I-95 northbound and southbound on-ramps will be widened to receive traffic from dual left turn lanes. Two noise barriers will be built along I-95 southbound. Project completion in Sept. 2027.
I-95 Southbound Exit 126 Off-Ramp and Route 1 Southbound
Two lanes are now open on the I-95 southbound off-ramp at exit 126 onto Route 1 southbound. Route 1 southbound was widened from the off-ramp to Southpoint Parkway with an additional turn lane. A second right turn lane is open from Route 1 southbound to Southpoint Parkway. Traffic islands are 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. Project completion in August 2025.
Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) Widening
Four travel lanes are now open on Mudd Tavern Road between I-95 and Route 1. A new secondary access route, Route 2092, remains under construction parallel to Mudd Tavern Road and will connect with South Roxbury Mill Road and Dan Bell Lane. Project completion was scheduled for late May 2025, but construction will continue in July 2025. Updates will be posted to the project page.
Route 620 (Harrison Road) Reconstruction and Widening
Harrison Road is being widened to four lanes between Gordon Road and Old Plank Road. The project will build a center turn lane along Harrison Road and additional through travel lanes at the Old Plank Road and Gordon Road intersections, and extend the current turn lanes at these intersections. Sidewalks will be built along Harrison Road, and pedestrian crossing signal equipment and crosswalks will be added at the Old Plank Road and Gordon Road intersections. Project completion in late summer 2026.
