Those on Interstate 64 next week should expect a series of nightly lane closures — and possibly some delays.

Some lanes and ramps will close between June 17 and June 21. Crews contracted by VDOT will be performing work related to Segments II and III of the I-64 widening project between Route 199 (exit 242) and Yorktown Road (exit 247).

On Tuesday, June 19, drivers should stay alert because there will be a new traffic pattern on I-64 east between the Grove interchange at exit 243 and Jefferson Avenue at exit 247.

Detour signs will be in place to direct drivers around the construction.
