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 between Route 199 (exit 242) to Yorktown Road (exit 247), certain ramps and lanes will experience closures from Nov. 11-15.
Work will also continue on segments II and III of the project.
Detour signs will be in place for overnight closures.
