Northbound Lanes of I-95 Shut Down After Truck Hit Overpass in Stafford County
Backups stretched as far as 10 miles
All northbound lanes of Interstate 95 are shut down along a stretch of the highway in Stafford County, Virginia, authorities said early Tuesday afternoon.
The closure is located near mile marker 133. Backups stretched 10 miles on the southbound side and 6 miles on the northbound side about 3:30 p.m.
The lanes were shut down after the dump bed of a dump truck got stuck beneath the Truslow Road overpass, the Stafford County Sheriff's Office said. Photos posted by the sheriff's office and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) showed the dump bed stuck vertically beneath the overpass.
Truslow Road is also closed.
Northbound traffic is being detoured at exit 133, where drivers can access Route 17 northbound or Route 17 Business southbound to Route 1, VDOT said.
The closures will remain in place until the bridge can be inspected. Bridge inspectors are on the scene, VDOT said.
Local
Drivers should expect heavy delays in that area of I-95 and on surrounding roads, authorities said.
VDOT told drivers to avoid I-95 northbound in the Fredericksburg area if possible. Officials are adjusting traffic light timing in the vicinity to account for heavier northbound vehicle traffic, VDOT said.
