VDOT reopens river channel at Fredericksburg

The Rappahannock River near Interstate 95 is open to boaters once again -- at least for now.

The river channel that passes underneath the Rappahannock Falls Bridge that carries I-95 traffic over the waterway has is now open for recreational traffic. Prior today, boaters had to use a portage that was put into place in December 2019 to get to the water.

But the river being open again is only temporary, as the channel will close again in Fall 2020 as part of the bridge project. Once again, a portage will be required for boaters to enter the water.
