CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) — Labor Day weekend is days away and the Virginia Department of Transportation is hoping to make travel easier.
VDOT will be suspending many highway work zones and lifting most lane closures on interstates and other major roads in Virginia from noon next Friday until noon on September 3.
But motorists may encounter semi-permanent work zones that remain in place during this time.
VDOT offers several resources to help plan travel ahead of time.
VDOT’s free mobile 511 app offers information about construction, traffic, incidents and congestion as well as access to traffic cameras, weather, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and more. Use 511’s “speak ahead” option for hands-free and eyes-free audible traffic alerts for incidents and construction along your route. Traffic information is also available at 511Virginia.org or by calling 511 from any phone in Virginia.
