Route 1 southbound in Stafford County will remain reduced to a single lane at Accokeek Creek over the weekend as an emergency repair continues to a bridge rail and guardrail.
A truck struck the Accokeek Creek bridge rail on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 17, and crews started an emergency repair early this morning, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
While repairs have been made to the bridge’s concrete rail, additional time is needed for the concrete to set and coordinate guardrail installation around nearby underground utilities. The right travel lane cannot safely open to traffic until the guardrail has been reinstalled.
