Travelers on Route 630 (Courthouse Road) in Stafford County, and drivers who exit or enter Interstate 95 northbound at Exit 140/Courthouse Road, will experience delays overnight on Monday, December 10 as construction crews place beams for a new interstate ramp.
Starting at 9:00 p.m. on Monday, a single right lane on I-95 northbound will close near the interchange. Weather permitting, all traffic on the I-95 northbound on- and off-ramps at Exit 140 will be intermittently stopped overnight for up to 30 minutes at a time. The full stops will start at 10:00 p.m. Monday and will be completed by 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, December 11.
