While lane closures will be lifted in most locations, motorists may encounter semi-permanent work zones that remain in place during this time. Travelers are encouraged to check VDOT’s travel advisories for the latest alerts in their area and around the state.

Additionally, VDOT offers several resources to help plan travel ahead of time.
