Interstate 64 lane closures set for May 7-8 in Augusta County

600px-I-64The Virginia Department of Transportation will have an overnight lane closure May 7-8 along eastbound Interstate 64 between mile markers 89 and 91 in Augusta County.

On the night of Wednesday, May 7 the eastbound right lane will close at 7 p.m. and reopen by 7 a.m. on Thursday, May 8. This will allow crews to mark pavement and install a concrete barrier.
