FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Interstate 95 northbound travelers should anticipate delays with overnight lane closures near Exit 133 (Route 17) in Stafford County as crews prepare to lift the bridge beams for the new Truslow Road overpass. 

A single lane will close on I-95 northbound at 9 p.m. followed by double lane closures at 10 p.m. near the Exit 133 interchange to allow crews to a move a crane into place for the bridge beam placement.
