The I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project seeks to reduce northbound I-95 congestion between the exit 130 (Route 3) interchange in the City of Fredericksburg and the exit 133 (Route 17) interchange in Stafford County, which are two of the busiest interchanges in the region.
At its May 2020 meeting, the Commonwealth Transportation Board awarded a $107.5 million contract to begin construction on this project. Read the news release.
The project contract was awarded to Wagman Heavy Civil, Inc., of York, Pa.
Three additional travel lanes will be built between exit 130 (Route 3) in Fredericksburg and exit 133 (Route 17) in Stafford, and will build a new bridge span over the Rappahannock River.
