As construction at the intersection of Route 1, Route 17 Business and Route 218 in Falmouth draws to a close, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will begin overnight paving work.
According to VDOT, milling paving and line stripping work will begin tomorrow night, and run through September 30.
Traffic will still be able to move through the intersection, but there may be some delays, stated VDOT.
More from a VDOT release:
“We appreciate the community’s patience with us over the past 18 months during numerous lane closures and traffic shifts at the intersection,” said Michael Coffey, P.E., Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Assistant District Administrator for Construction, Fredericksburg District. “We look forward to removing cones and barrels at the end of the month, and delivering a better travel experience for drivers, pedestrians, and emergency responders.”
What Motorists Can Expect
Virginia State Police will direct traffic at the intersection every night from Sept. 8-30. Hours will vary depending on the day of the week. Mobile single lane closures will be in place.
Traffic will be under law enforcement control on the following schedule:
- Sunday: 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Monday-Thursday: 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Friday-Saturday: 10 p.m. to 9 a.m.
Traffic will be permitted to pass through the intersection while overnight work is underway. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and to expect brief delays.
An intermediate and final layer of asphalt will be applied across the entire intersection and each approach on Route 1, Route 17 Business, and Butler Road.
Up to 12 inches of new asphalt will be applied in some locations. New pavement markings will be painted after paving to define the boundaries of the new traffic pattern.
