RICHMOND, Va. – Opponents of tolls on Interstate 95 have a new ally: African American legislators.
Virginia transportation officials warned drivers today about three construction projects that could cause delays, including a full closure of a portion of the Capital Beltway, and about a change to an ongoing repair project on interstate 95.
More about the Beltway closure in a press release from the Virginia Megaprojects office:
STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Harrell Road in Stafford County will close once to traffic once again on Friday.
The two-lane road will close at Claiborne Run, where the road often floods out after rainstorms. The road will close between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday so crews can clean debris from channels at the water crossing, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
