Overnight bridge work on Interstate 64 at Exit 118 Thursday night

A contractor with the Virginia Department of Transportation will perform bridge-deck patching on the Interstate 64 eastbound bridge over Route 29 (Monacan Trail) in Albemarle County.

The work will occur tonight from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m

Traffic will be reduced to one travel lane while the work is completed. The I-64 on-ramp from Route 29 southbound and the off-ramp to Route 29 northbound will also be closed. Follow posted detour routes.

This work is necessary to repair a previous patch that has loosened and has created a bumpy riding surface in the travel lane.

Message boards are in place to notify the public of the upcoming work.
