These closures will affect major interstates, ramps, bridges, and roadways. The closures are intended for construction and maintenance activities. However, VDOT has announced a suspension of most lane closures for Easter holiday travel from noon on Friday, April 18, until noon on Tuesday, April 22. Detailed information about statewide holiday travel can be found on the VDOT website.

Regarding bridges and tunnels, the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel on I-64 will have single-lane closures heading westbound from April 14-17 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel on I-664 will feature mobile lane closures southbound on April 15 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For updates on lane closures relating to the Elizabeth River Tunnels, interested parties are directed to check the specific tunnel schedules online.
