VDOT says Route 17 travelers may experience overnight delays tonight, Nov. 3 through early Friday, Nov. 4 as construction continues to improve Interstate 95 at the exit 133 interchange in Stafford County.

Starting at 7 p.m., one lane on Route 17 between Short Street and Sanford Drive will close.

All Route 17 traffic will be stopped intermittently between midnight and 3 a.m. to install equipment for a temporary traffic signal as part of the I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project.

Each stop may last up to 30 minutes.

Weather permitting, lane closures on Route 17 are scheduled at the following times:

Thursday, Nov. 3 – Friday, Nov. 4

7 p.m. – 11:59 p.m. – Single lane closure
Midnight to 3 a.m. – Full traffic stop up to 30 minutes
