FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is closely monitoring weather forecasts and road conditions today with light snow showers and a wintry mix forecast to potentially affect the Interstate 95 corridor and the Northern Neck starting Thursday afternoon, and continuing into Thursday evening.
VDOT crews will patrol I-95 and roads in the Fredericksburg area and Northern Neck this afternoon and overnight to treat roads for any icy, slick or hazardous road conditions that develop.
