Spotsylvania, VA – Drivers in Spotsylvania County are being urged to reroute today after a crash shut down a well-traveled stretch of Lansdowne Road, causing delays for commuters, school traffic, and residents moving through the central part of the county.
According to the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office, the section of Lansdowne Road between Artillery Ridge Road and Parkview Drive is currently closed due to a motor vehicle accident. Deputies posted the alert Wednesday morning, advising drivers to avoid the area until further notice while crews work to clear the roadway.
Authorities have not yet released details on injuries, how many vehicles were involved, or what led to the crash. The sheriff’s office said only that a “motor vehicle accident” prompted the closure and that law enforcement and emergency responders remain on scene.
The impacted stretch is a key connector for residents traveling toward Courthouse Road, nearby neighborhoods, and surrounding commercial areas. Local drivers may experience delays along secondary routes as traffic diverts to avoid the closure.
As of this morning, deputies have not provided an estimated reopening time. Motorists traveling through Spotsylvania County should plan for additional travel time, especially during peak commute periods, and consider using alternatives such as Courthouse Road, Old Battlefield Boulevard, or Route 3 depending on their destination.
The sheriff’s office is expected to release updates once the roadway reopens or if additional information becomes available. Residents can follow the agency’s official Facebook page for real-time alerts.
