| FREDERICKSBURG – Most roads in the Fredericksburg, Northern Neck, and Middle Peninsula areas are clear of snow. Bare pavement is visible across all lanes and shoulders of Interstate 95 and along all major roads in the 14-county Fredericksburg District. Today, crews focused on plowing and treating any remaining secondary roads and subdivision streets. Black ice may develop overnight with wet pavement and below-freezing temperatures. Any moisture remaining on the roads from melted snow and slush is expected to refreeze. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews will monitor road conditions and apply treatment materials as needed. Icy conditions are more likely to develop in shaded areas and along flood-prone roadways. Crews will patrol overnight for slick spots. Workers will then use treatment materials to melt ice and improve traction for vehicle tires. Motorists need to plan for additional travel time overnight and tomorrow morning with potential for slick road conditions. Ice may be more likely to form on bridges, overpasses and ramps, which freeze first due to lower surface temperatures. Extra caution should be used on roads carrying less traffic, such as subdivision streets, and on hills and curves. The VDOT Fredericksburg District is responsible for removing snow from nearly 12,000 total lane miles and 20 commuter lots. Winter Weather Resources |
