Two eastbound inside lanes on Route 58 will be closed Saturday, Jun 22 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. according to Suffolk Public Works. The lanes will be closed from the VDOT weigh station to the Chesapeake City line to ensure the safety and efficiency of workers while they handle a planned tree-cutting operation, the city said.
Crash on I-264 near Ballentine Boulevard:
It happened just before 7:00 a.m. on Friday. This part of town does get a lot of traffic during the morning commute, as it's right near the berkley bridge and Downtown Tunnel. Even though two lanes heading westbound were initially closed, crews were able to get that clear relatively quickly, and just half an hour later, only the right shoulder was closed.
Tractor-Trailer crash on US-13 in Exmore.
The crash occurred at around 4:30 on Friday morning. At first, only two lanes were shut down heading southbound, but that was increased to all lanes heading south when crews started clean up. There was a detour put in place in Exmore.
Two crashes on I-64 westbound near Harpersville Rd.
Just hours apart, we saw two crashes Tuesday morning on I-64 near Harpersville Road in Newport News. The first occurred a little before 4 a.m. the second, before 8 a.m. In both cases, one travel lane and the shoulder were closed down. There was some congestion as a result of the second one since there were more drivers on the road.

Crash on I-64 near Croaker Rd:
This occurred north of Williamsburg in the County of James City, at around 5:30 on Monday morning. All west lanes were closed for over an hour as crews looked to clean up the crash. A detour was set up at exit 231B. Throughout the morning, more and more lanes started to open back up.
Construction on the James River Bridge:
Drivers will see alternating, mobile, single-lane closures in both directions from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m on Monday and just northbound on Tuesday. Shouldn't slow down traffic too much, but allot yourself a little extra time if you're driving over this bridge.
