The right lane of southbound Interstate 81 was closed Tuesday afternoon near mile marker 314 in Frederick County for emergency bridge deck repairs. The location is the southbound I-81 bridge over Abrams Creek, just north of exit 313 (Route 17/50/522) at Winchester.

The right lane of southbound I-81 is expected to reopen by 7 a.m. Wednesday following repairs by a Virginia Department of Transportation bridge contractor. Motorists should expect congestion on southbound I-81 in the Winchester area and northern Frederick County until work is complete and the right lane reopens.

All work is weather permitting.
