HAMPTON ROADS, VA — Drivers traveling between the Peninsula and Southside should prepare for potential delays as a planned eastbound closure of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel approaches.
According to the announced schedule, eastbound traffic heading toward Norfolk is expected to be affected beginning Friday, October 16, at 9 p.m., while crews conduct roadway repaving work.
The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel is one of the region’s busiest transportation corridors, connecting communities such as Hampton and Newport News with Norfolk and other Southside cities.
Even temporary closures can create significant traffic backups, particularly during weekend travel periods when drivers are heading to work, events, restaurants, and entertainment destinations.
Motorists may need to consider alternative routes, including the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel, depending on their destinations and current traffic conditions.
Drivers are encouraged to allow additional travel time and check official transportation updates before leaving home.
The closure is part of ongoing roadway maintenance and improvement efforts designed to support safe and reliable travel throughout Hampton Roads.
