ROUTE 3 TRAFFIC SHIFT NEXT WEEK IN WESTMORELAND FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Route 3 traffic in Westmoreland County will be shifted slightly north between Flat Iron Road and Winter Harbor Road on Wednesday, June 2, to begin traveling on new pavement in a temporary traffic pattern. The traffic shift will allow construction to advance on a project underway to build eastbound and westbound passing lanes over a 1.5-mile segment of Route 3 between Potomac Mills and Flat Iron in Westmoreland. Construction started on the project in December 2020, and is halfway complete. The new lanes are on schedule to open to traffic in December 2021. Next week, motorists can expect single lane closures with one-way, alternating traffic from noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 1, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2 through Friday, June 4.
