In Caroline County, Route 601 (Penola Road) will be closed to through traffic starting Tuesday at 7 p.m. until Friday at 10 a.m. due to maintenance work by CSX railroad. A detour route will be posted.
In Gloucester County on Route 17 Business (Main Street), bridge repairs will cause alternating lane closures from Tuesday to Thursday between Route 216 and Route 3 during nighttime hours.
Richmond County will see road resurfacing activities with flagging crews directing one-way traffic along several routes from Tuesday noon through Friday evening.
Various construction activities are also planned in Spotsylvania County affecting multiple routes such as Route 1 at Arcadia Road where alignment shifts are expected due to improvement work connected with Kalahari Resorts & Conventions development.
In Stafford County on Route 1 between Telegraph Road and Merryview Court utility work under permit may result in intermittent full traffic stops early Thursday morning.
Additional long-term projects include intersection improvements on Route 1 in Fredericksburg City slated for completion by June 2026 and bridge rehabilitation projects across Mathews County expected to finish by mid-2026.
Commuters are encouraged to use GWRideConnect’s free ridesharing services for alternative commuting options during these periods of roadwork disruption.
