FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – A wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, snow and sleet could affect road conditions in portions of the Fredericksburg District on Friday morning.
Motorists should prepare to use additional caution during the morning rush hour travel period on Friday. Road conditions may be more severe north and west of the Fredericksburg region due to weather conditions in those areas.
Travelers are advised to check
511Virginia to see road conditions along their planned route before starting a trip.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews will mobilize ahead of the forecasted weather this evening along Interstate 95, across the Fredericksburg area, and in the western portions of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. If icy or hazardous road conditions develop, crews will apply sand to provide additional traction for motorists, and salt to reduce icing.
