The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has announced a series of scheduled lane closures and ongoing construction projects across the Fredericksburg District for the week of November 23-29, 2025. The work spans several counties and cities, with activities ranging from guardrail installations to bridge repairs.
In Caroline County, Route 1 will see single lane closures between Ladysmith Road and Rogers Clark Boulevard on Monday and Tuesday for utility work. Frog Level Road will have alternating traffic during the same period for guardrail installation.
For the City of Fredericksburg and Stafford County, overnight lane closures are planned at Falmouth Bridge on Route 1 northbound and southbound for pothole patching and concrete repairs from Sunday through Tuesday.
Gloucester County’s Main Street (Route 17 Northbound) will experience alternating lane closures on Monday due to bridge repair work. In King George County, both Route 218 near Little Ferry Road and Route 301 Southbound near Jersey Road will have single lane closures for guardrail installation.
King and Queen County together with King William County will see alternating eastbound lane closures on Route 360 at the county line late Tuesday into Wednesday for Mattaponi River bridge repairs.
The Norris Bridge (Route 3 over the Rappahannock River), connecting Lancaster and Middlesex counties, is scheduled for overnight survey work Monday into Tuesday. Traffic will be managed by automatic flagging devices operated by certified crews.
Richmond County’s Route 360 Eastbound near Newland Road intersection will have single lane closures Monday through Tuesday for guardrail work.
Several roads in Spotsylvania County—including Tidewater Trail (Route 2/17), Courthouse Road (Route 208 Eastbound), Brock Road (Route 608), Harrison Road (Route 620), Breezewood subdivision routes, Loriella Park Subdivision routes—will undergo various improvements such as water main installation, pavement patching, road widening, milling, paving, or guardrail installation at different times throughout the week.

Westmoreland County’s Antioch Road (Route 612) is scheduled to have one-way alternating traffic early in the week due to more guardrail installations near Nomini Hall Road.
