Winter Storm Debris Cleanup Update
Cleanup of downed trees and debris from the Jan. 3 winter storm continues along primary and secondary roads in Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, Stafford and Westmoreland counties.
VDOT estimates around 2.5 million cubic yards of debris will be gathered by the end of the contracted cleanup operation in Fredericksburg District, which is expected to continue by contractor crews through late July.
Motorists should be alert to mobile work zones in the affected counties, with lane closures as needed. Crews are using heavy, slow-moving construction equipment to gather debris along road shoulders and medians.
Additional Projects in Fredericksburg District
Caroline County
Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) Widening
Construction is underway to widen Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) to four travel lanes between I-95 and just west of Route 1. A new raised median will separate eastbound and westbound travel lanes to allow for improved movement through the corridor. Additional left and right turn lanes will be built on Ladysmith Road at the Route 1 intersection. A shared use path, sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing equipment will be installed. The project is expected to be complete in May 2024.
Route 652 (Cool Water Drive) over Polecat Creek
Cool Water Drive was closed to through traffic in March 2022 at the bridge over Polecat Creek, and will remain closed for a bridge replacement project. Significant deterioration was discovered in key bridge elements during a bridge inspection and VDOT closed the bridge for motorist safety. Motorists should follow signs posted along the recommended detour route. Preliminary engineering is underway on a project to replace the bridge, and work will be accelerated. The new bridge is estimated to open to traffic in September 2023.
Ladysmith Safety Rest Area, I-95 Southbound
Expanded parking for trucks and oversize vehicles is now open at the I-95 Southbound Safety Rest Area at Ladysmith, located at mile marker 107 in Caroline County.
There are now 45 parking spaces for operators of large vehicles to safely park and take a break along I-95 between the Fredericksburg and Richmond areas. The $4.2 million project more than doubled the existing truck parking area, which had 20 spaces before the project.
Construction started in spring 2021. Work will continue for several weeks around the margins of the parking lot, as crews complete concrete work, grading, fencing, and seeding. But the new parking spaces will be unaffected, and will remain open.
In addition to the 45 truck parking spaces, the rest area offers 55 parking spaces for cars and 4 handicapped-accessible parking spaces. It is one of Virginia’s most heavily-visited rest areas, with an average of just under 4,000 visitors a day.
King George County
A single northbound and southbound lane are closed on Route 301 between the weigh station and the Nice-Middleton Bridge for a Maryland Transportation Authority project to replace the bridge over the Potomac River and realign Route 301 at the bridge approach.
Richmond County
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. The bridge replacement project is in preliminary engineering, with construction starting in fall 2022. The new bridge is anticipated to reopen in summer 2023.
Spotsylvania County
Route 1 and Commonwealth Drive
Be alert for construction activity on Route 1 near the Commonwealth Drive intersection, where work is underway to build a nearly 700-space Park & Ride commuter lot. Be alert for work zone barriers along the shoulders of Route 1, and lanes that are shifted to the east near the Commonwealth Drive intersection. Project completion is anticipated in May 2023.
Route 17 Overpass Replacement and Widening
Construction started in December 2020 on a project to replace the existing two-lane interstate overpass on Route 17 with a four-lane bridge. Route 17 will be widened to four travel lanes to just east of the Hospital Boulevard/Germanna Point Drive intersection. Sidewalk, a shared-use path, and pedestrian crossing equipment will be added as part of the project. Improvements will be completed in Feb. 2024.
Parkview Drive
Parkview Drive is closed to through traffic in the Artillery Ridge subdivision for approximately three months, through early Aug. 2022. Parkview Drive will be closed near the Artillery Ridge Road intersection to allow VDOT crews to remove three deteriorated corrugated metal drainage pipes under the road. They will be replaced with concrete drainage pipes. Crews will be working on Mondays-Thursdays, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
