Afton Mountain Work Delayed

The Virginia Department of Transportation’s emergency project to remove unstable soil from a slope above Interstate 64 at Afton Mountain is currently suspended due to weather conditions. Instead, the work will resume next Monday through Thursday, May 13-16.
The restrictions will affect traffic from Exit 107 at Crozet to Exit 96 at Waynesboro. Drivers should expect significant congestion and delays; passenger vehicles are encouraged to use Route 250 as an alternate route. Message boards along I-64 will advise motorists of the closures and expected congestion in the area.
Motorists should check VDOT’s traffic information web site, 511virginia.org or call 511 for more information about traffic conditions and delays.
