One lane on Interstate 81 near Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County will temporarily close next week for guardrail repairs.

The northbound right lane of I-81 will be closed overnight from 8 p.m. on Monday, March 30, through 7 a.m. Tuesday, March 31, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The northbound off-ramp from the interstate onto U.S. Route 11 at exit 180 also will be closed.

The closures will allow crews to complete repairs to damage sustained in a tractor trailer crash earlier this week.

All work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
