and last updated

Crash on I-264 in the Downtown Tunnel:
Credit to crews for clearing this one in about 10 minutes, but unfortunately, we saw congestion develop as a result of this crash. The driver was heading east and caused a tunnel stoppage by getting into this wreck. Oh, and this also happened Thursday morning.

Crash on I-64 near J. Clyde Morris Blvd in Newport News:
This was a bad one, and was, again, on Thursday morning. Whenever it is raining, people must slow down. It was quite ridiculous. This crash blocked off a center lane, center left lane and center right lane in that area.

Crash on I-64 near Indian River Road:
Looks like a car did a spin and crashed, blocking off center lane, right lane and right shoulder. This occurred heading west on Thursday morning.

Crash on VA-164 near London Blvd:
Can you guess when this occurred? That's right! Thursday morning! This crash held up drivers heading east in the Portsmouth area. It blocked off a left shoulder and left lane for more than an hour.

Crash on I-264 near Mount Trashmore:
This one also happened on Thursday morning. It was a bad morning out there, so many crashes it was hard to keep track of them all. This blocked off a left lane and left shoulder heading east.

Crash on I-664 near Bowers Hill:
This occurred near the Bowers Hill interchange on Thursday morning, narrowing down an exit in that area. Traffic was backed up for miles as a result.

Crash on I-64 near I-664 interchange:
This was partially blocking off exit 264 on Thursday, that's the exit you take to get from I-64 to I-664 in Newport News. Caused some issues for drivers heading east bound on that highway since traffic was backed up onto I-64.

Crash on I-64 near Settlers Landing Road:
This occurred just north of the HRBT on Thursday morning, and really affected traffic in the area since it's usually bad on the HRBT regardless of crashes. This crash blocked off a left lane and left shoulder heading east.

Multi-Vehicle crash on Berkley Bridge:
This crash blocked off the right lane and right shoulder heading west, causing some delays in the area on Thursday morning. It was cleared relatively quickly.

Crash on I-64 near Denbeigh Blvd:
Another crash that occurred during the rainstorm, and occurred in relatively the same area. This crash occurred just after 5:30 a.m. It blocked off the right lane, right shoulder, and center lane, causing quite the back up even in the early hours of the morning.

Crash on I-64 near Neil Armstrong Parkway:
This happened just before 5:30 on Thursday morning and was a part of the crashes that occurred during the morning rainstorm. The left lane and left shoulder heading west was closed down while crews worked to clear the debris.

Crash on I-64 near Bland Blvd:
This crash occurred in the Newport News area at around 4:00 in the morning, closing down exit 255A for more than an hour on Thursday morning.

Crash on I-64 near Tidewater Drive:
Initially listed as a disabled vehicle by the Virginia Department of Transportation, this crash caused a little bit of an issue on the road. Even though it looked to be just a fender bender, there was no left shoulder to pull into. This meant that crews had to close down the west left lane at one of the busiest times of the morning drive, around 7:30.

Crash on I-464 near I-64 interchange:
This occurred around 7:00 on Wednesday morning heading northbound on I-464. Wasn't too bad of a crash, just narrowed down an exit lane off the highway. The incident was cleared up before 8:00 in the morning.

Crash on I-64 near Norview Ave:
The crash heading west bound involved multiple vehicles and closed two lanes, including a shoulder.

Crash on I-464 near Poindexter street:
A lot of multi-vehicle crashes on Monday morning, most likely due to the damp weather. Just a reminder, please drive safely out there. This crash was one of many hold ups near the I-464/I-264 interchange on Monday. It closed down the left lane heading northbound, and contributed to the massive amount of congestion we saw in this area.

Crash on I-264 on the Berkley Bridge:
Another major contributor to the Monday morning traffic. The incident occurred around 6:40 in the morning, and really marked the start of congestion in this area that lasted throughout the morning. Crews were able to clear the crash relatively quickly, but we saw residual traffic as a result.

Crash on Route 602 in Sussex County:
This blocked off all lanes in both directions near Jerusalem Plank road. Alternative routes were made available. The collision occurred just before seven on Monday morning.
