FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Interstate 95 south in Fredericksburg is back open Saturday evening after a multi-vehicle crash involving an overturned tractor-trailer closed all lanes of busy interstate.

The wreck happened south of the exit for Route 3 (exit 130) at mile marker 129, VDOT officials said.

As a result, drivers should use alternate routes if possible and plan for major delays in the Fredericksburg area.

"Heavy traffic is also anticipated on Route 3 near the I-95 interchange in the Fredericksburg area, and along Route 1 southbound," VDOT officials warned.

Two lanes of the interstate had reopened by 8:30 p.m.

"A single southbound lane remains closed for emergency response to an earlier multi-vehicle crash," officials said.

Traffic was backed up more than three miles as of about 8:30 p.m.
