The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is giving drivers a heads up, plan ahead when traveling the Interstate 64 corridor the next few days.
Contractor crews with VDOT will close a series of interstate ramps on I-64 and some nearby streets that will likely cause nightly delays now until mid-November due to the I-64 widening project.
A series of interstate on-ramps and off-ramps on I-64 at Route 199 and Fort Eustis Boulevard will be closed. Alternating single-lane closures will also be in effect between Jefferson Avenue and the Colonial Parkway in both directions of the interstate.
Along with ramp and lane closures, VDOT will close some roads and some lanes on Rt. 60 in York and James City counties.
