Harrison Road Closed Daily Near Old Plank Road In Spotsylvania County

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Drivers in Spotsylvania County will see daytime closures on Harrison Road this week as paving work moves forward on a road widening project on Monday.

Route 620 (Harrison Road) will close to through traffic between Route 627, Gordon Road, and Route 610, Old Plank Road, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning Monday, March 30, through Friday, April 3, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The closure is scheduled for five days, weather permitting, and is tied to paving ahead of a traffic shift. According to VDOT, construction crews will pave Harrison Road between Gordon Road and Old Plank Road, and once that work is finished, motorists will be shifted to the newly paved section of road.

Through traffic on Harrison Road will be detoured using Gordon Road and Old Plank Road. Old Plank Road will remain open at the Harrison Road intersection, according to VDOT.

During the daily closures, travelers and emergency responders will still be able to access homes along Harrison Road between Gordon Road and Old Plank Road, as well as homes on Route 1196 (Stansbury Drive).

VDOT said residential traffic should use the Gordon Road intersection to reach Harrison Road while the road is closed each day. No access will be available from the Old Plank Road intersection during those hours.

The paving work is part of VDOT's ongoing $11.2 million project to widen Harrison Road to four lanes between Gordon Road and Old Plank Road. According to VDOT, construction on the widening project began in September 2024 and is expected to be complete in late summer 2026.

The broader project also includes building a center turn lane on Harrison Road, adding through travel lanes at the Old Plank Road and Gordon Road intersections, and extending current turn lanes at both intersections. Sidewalks are also planned along Harrison Road, and pedestrian crossing signal equipment and crosswalks will be added at the Old Plank Road and Gordon Road intersections, according to VDOT.
