Recent heavy rains damaged a pipe under the highway, and the Virginia Department of Transportation made temporary repairs on Friday. Crews plan to return onMonday to make permanent repairs, and Route 220 is expected to be closed for a few days. All work is weather permitting.

Drivers will follow a short detour on Route 632, which generally runs parallel to Route 220 for about 1.8 miles.
