WHEREAS, in 2010, after years of analysis, FAMPO submitted an Interchange Justification Report
(IJR) to VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and
WHEREAS, this IJR showed that a series of improvements would alleviate congestion on I-95 and on
Route 17 in Stafford County and Route 3 in the City of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County, as well
as improving safety, economic vitality and quality of life in the FAMPO Region, and
WHEREAS, the improvements recommended in the IJR included an upgrade to the I-95 interchange at
Exit 133, expansion of I-95 capacity between Exits 133 and 130 (including new capacity across the
Rappahannock River), a new I-95 interchange just north of the I-95 Welcome Center at Fredericksburg
and a new parkway, extending from the new I-95 interchange and connecting with Route 3 at Gordon
Road in Spotsylvania County, and
WHEREAS, in 2010 VDOT and FHWA gave approval for the improvements recommended in the IJR to
proceed to environmental review and design, and
WHEREAS, in September 2013 the Commonwealth Transportation Secretary noted delays in solving I-
95 congestion in the FAMPO Region and the negative impacts this congestion was having on the
Commonwealth and the American Eastern Seaboard, and directed VDOT to report back to the CTB with
its recommendations for solving I-95-related congestion in the FAMPO Region at the December 2013
CTB meeting, and
WHEREAS, having been asked by the Fredericksburg District CTB Member for a recommendation,
FAMPO voted to endorse a combined project which included construction of all of the improvements
contained in the 2010 IJR, as well as improvements to Exit 133 and construction of the “Berea Parkway,”
extending from I-95 Exit 136 to Route 17 in Stafford County, and
