VDOT to halt most road closures for Easter travels
The Virginia Department of Transportation tells WAVY News they are lifting most lane closures for holiday travel this coming Easter from noon on Friday, April 15, until noon on Tuesday, April 19.
There will still be semi-permanent work zones in place creating potential traffic delays. You can read the full release here.
Construction & Closures
Depending on where you’re heading, you’re likely using a major highway, tunnel or bridge. With that in mind, these major construction updates or notifications are organized by road or structure. If it’s not a full/continuous closure, or it’s happening in the 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. timeframe, we won’t make a written mention of it.
