VA 3 is an east/west route extending out toward the end of the Northern Neck. It begins at the point where Business US 15 turns from Germanna Highway onto Orange Road in Culpeper. Germanna Highway continues east as VA 3 toward Fredericksburg, changing names to become Plank Road. In Fredericksburg, there are interchanges with I-95 and Emancipation Highway (US 1). There is a limited-access bypass of Fredericksburg called Blue and Gary Parkway. At the end of the bypass, VA 3 turns onto Kings Highway.
