Soil and rock testing requires overnight lane and ramp closures around the interchange of Interstate 81 and Route 33 (East Market Street) at exit 247 in Harrisonburg.

The work is scheduled for Sunday through Thursday nights from Nov. 3 through Dec. 13. All work is weather permitting.

During the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., motorists can expect alternating lane closures as needed on I-81 northbound and southbound between mile marker 247 and 248, and on Route 33 eastbound and westbound near the I-81 interchange.

There will also be occasional temporary closures of the on- and off-ramps between the interstate and Route 33. When a ramp is closed, signs and variable message boards will advise motorists of detour routes.
