Crews kick River Road flood clean up into high gear as street surface buckles

FALMOUTH -- It was clean-up time on the banks of the Rappahannock River on Monday.

Large dump trucks, earth movers, and chainsaw operators were called into to remove the debris while the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office turned away motorists hoping to use the popular cut-through street that links Route 3 with Routes 1 and 17.

The thoroughfare carries 5,700 cars per day, according to a 2017 traffic count.
