Reconstructed Truslow Road bridge to open April 9 [VDOT]
Route 652 (Truslow Road) in Stafford County is expected to reopen to traffic at a new interstate overpass on April 9, weather permitting.
Construction is nearing completion on the new overpass, which is being replaced as part of the 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension project. The overpass, located between Beagle Road and Samuel Lane, was rebuilt to accommodate the construction of two new reversible express lanes in the median of Interstate 95.
The new overpass will be longer and slightly wider, with two travel lanes and expanded road shoulders. The previous Truslow Road bridge was built in 1963 and was classified as structurally deficient, indicating it was in need of replacement or rehabilitation based on its condition.
Stafford prioritizes 3 road improvement projects
Updated at February 16, 2021 - Rick Horner
The Stafford County Board of Supervisors will be focused on multiple roadway improvements over the next five years.
The projects come as the county’s population continues to grow.
Berea Church Road, which lies between Truslow Road and Route 17, will be redesigned for safety.
It will include wider travel lanes, paved shoulders, and new roadway ditches, culverts, and stormwater management swales.
The county is nearly complete with the process of buying up all of the lands it needs to widen the road.
Construction is slated to begin later this spring
