The work will impact several counties, including Spotsylvania, Caroline, Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King George, Lancaster, Mathews, Northumberland, Richmond County, Stafford County, and Westmoreland.
In Spotsylvania County, construction on Interstate 95 Southbound at Exit 126 involves alternating single lane closures from Sunday to Saturday between 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. The project aims to widen the ramp and add an additional right turn lane onto Route 1 southbound.

Caroline County will have single lane closures on Route 2/Route 301 as crews install raised pavement markers. Similar work is scheduled in Essex County along Route 360.
In Gloucester County and Mathews County, mobile operations with flagging are planned for thermo pavement marking eradication as part of the cape seal road resurfacing process. This work affects several routes across both counties.
King William County's Route 360 Eastbound will undergo bridge repairs with alternating lane closures during weekdays and overnight hours. Meanwhile, King George County's Route 3 Westbound will have alternating lane closures for pavement marking work.
Lancaster County will conduct guardrail work on eastbound Route 3 near Route 819 under flagger direction during weekdays. Pavement marking eradication is also planned across various routes in Northumberland and Richmond Counties.
