FREDERICKSBURG – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has closed the median crossover at the Route 17 and Route 610 (Woods Cross Road/Davenport Road) intersection in Gloucester County.
The median will remain closed to keep drivers and workers safe until construction is complete to modify the intersection.
Drivers on Woods Cross Road or Davenport Road are now being directed to turn right and U-turn from existing Route 17 crossovers near the intersection to continue travel in their desired direction. Travelers on Route 17 are also prohibited from making left turns onto Woods Cross Road and Davenport Road.
VDOT monitors traffic conditions closely in its work zones. Traffic control devices such as signs, pavement markings, barrels and lane configurations will be adjusted as needed to prioritize the safety of travelers and workers.
Construction on the $5.1 million intersection safety project began in March 2025 and expected to be complete in Dec. 2025.
When the project is complete, drivers on Woods Cross Road or Davenport Road seeking to turn left onto Route 17 will begin by making a right turn, and will then U-turn at new, designated locations that are approximately 700 feet from the existing intersection. Route 17 travelers will be able to make left turns onto Woods Cross Road or Davenport Road as part of the final traffic pattern. View a graphic of the final pattern.
