The state of transportation in the Fredericksburg region is better than in years past, but plenty of challenges remain, state and local officials told a gathering at Gari Melchers Home and Studio on Tuesday morning.
The event, hosted by the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, included a roundup of work being done and other projects that could be coming down the pike.
Quintin Elliott, Virginia’s deputy secretary of transportation, told the crowd that transportation is key to the state’s economy. He pointed out that $1 billion in work is underway and coming for the region’s Interstate 95 corridor, something Elliott said he could only dream of when he was the Fredericksburg District administrator for the Virginia Department of Transportation.
