Heads up, drivers. Those planning to be out on the highway at night this coming week will likely experience delays due to the I-64 Widening project.
Contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close a series of interstate ramps on I-64 at Route 199 and Fort Eustis Boulevard. Alternating single-lane closures will also take place near Lee Hall and the Colonial Parkway, according to a VDOT news release.
