Spotsylvania County, VA – Southbound lanes of Patriot Highway (U.S. 1) are currently closed following a motor vehicle accident near Interstate 95, according to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.
The closure was announced Thursday morning as deputies and emergency crews responded to the scene. Authorities said the southbound side of the highway is shut down and are urging drivers to use alternate routes until further notice.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred near the I-95 interchange, a high-traffic area connecting major commuter routes between Fredericksburg and Thornburg. No information about injuries or the number of vehicles involved has been released.
Motorists should expect delays in the area, particularly during peak travel hours, and consider using nearby routes such as Route 208 or Courthouse Road to bypass the closure.
