Drivers on Interstate 64 should expect a series of nightly lane closures — and possibly some delays — through the week.

As a result of VDOT’s I-64 widening project certain ramps and lanes will experience closures from June 2-8.

Ramps

A consecutive, long-term full ramp closure on Route 143 Merrimac Trail north to I-64 west continues. Traffic will follow detour signage in place directing motorists to the Route 143 south on-ramp to I-64 west during the closure.

Lanes

• Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel, I-664:
• Alternating single-lane closures north June 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
• Alternating single-lane closures south June 3-4, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
