VDOT Lane Closure Forecast: Oct. 10-16

By WYDaily Staff Sunday, October 10, 2010

In an effort to keep you informed, VDOT publishes the scheduled highway lane closures that may affect traffic in Hampton Roads. In some cases - like anything that happens on I-64 between Williamsburg and Newport News - delays are inevitable. But keep in mind these anticipated closures are subject to change due to weather conditions and other unforeseen events. Other closures, says VDOT, may occur that do not appear on this report.

For current traffic and travel information, visit the VDOT website, call 511, call the TrafficLine at 757-361-3016 or listen to 610AM.
