NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — UPDATE: All eastbound and westbound lanes are open. However, we still have heavy but steady traffic. The MMMBT has also reopened its southbound lanes, but the traffic is still backed up.
A cooking oil spill is blamed for the traffic stoppage on the HRBT Friday morning. I-64 eastbound lanes were closed since just after 4:30 Friday morning. There were intermittent stoppages on I-64 westbound to let drivers stuck on the eastbound lanes out.
In addition, all I-664 southbound lanes on the MMMBT in Newport News were closed due to a crash.
