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 Aug. 25-31.

While the lane closure lift is in effect for most areas, motorists may encounter semi-permanent work zones that remain in place during that time. A full listing of those lane closures can be found on VDOT’s website.

Ramps

  • Full ramp closure on northbound Route 17/George Washington Highway on-ramp to I-64 west Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
