FREDERICKSBURG – Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews worked overnight to treat roads for slick and hazardous conditions and remain mobilized this morning across the Fredericksburg area, Northern Neck, and Middle Peninsula. Crews plowed snow in areas where at least 2 inches of snow accumulated on the road surface.

Road conditions vary around the 14-county Fredericksburg District. Travelers should use caution this morning while driving. Allow extra travel time and reduce speed, especially on secondary roads carrying lighter traffic, while crossing bridges and overpasses, and traveling along ramps.
