VDOT says construction crews continue to build the new Route 652 (Truslow Road) overpass, which will be located between Interstate 95 Exit 133 (Route 17) and Exit 136 (Centreport Parkway), in Stafford County, as part of the I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project.

Traffic may be stopped for up to 30 minutes at a time between the Rappahannock River Bridge and north of Exit 133 (Route 17) between midnight and 3 a.m. In between each stop, congestion will be allowed to clear before the next full stop.

Project Background

 Crews are currently building the 10-mile extension of the I-95 Express Lanes in the median of I-95 from south of Exit 143 (Route 610) to the vicinity of Exit 133 (Route 17).

Construction on the $565 million project began in July 2019.

The extended Express Lanes are anticipated to open to traffic in late 2022. All work related to the project is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

Transurban, the operator of the existing 95 Express Lanes facility, is managing construction of the I-95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension. The design-build project contractor is a joint venture between Branch Civil and Flatiron.
