The Virginia Department of Transportation will test the tide gates at the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Tuesday as the Hampton Roads District prepares for Hurricane Florence.
Motorists travelling I-64 to the HRBT during that time should expect to be stopped for up to one hour in each direction. To avoid delays, motorists are encouraged to use the I-664 Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel as an alternate route.
