LIVE TRAFFIC UPDATES: Huguenot Bridge reopens
RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) – I’ll update this page with traffic updates throughout the morning commute. For more information on delays and detours you can visit the WTVR.com traffic page, follow me on Twitter or LIKE my Facebook page.
Here is our report from the CBS 6 News at Noon, about 20 minutes before the Huguenot Bridge reopened to traffic.
VDOT reopened the Huguenot Bridge around 12:20 p.m. Monday.
New info from VDOT: The Huguenot Bridge remains closed following material problems during an overnight repair and will remain closed until the repair is completed – possibly two more hours. The epoxy used to repair a bearing seat is not curing as expected and traffic or movement over the bridge could further delay the process or potentially result in a safety issue.
UPDATE: The crash along 95 North has the right lane and shoulder closed at this time. Over a 3 mile backup from Bells. Please use Route 1 instead.
The Huguenot Bridge will remain closed through 9am at least. Overnight construction work is running late. Use the Willey Bridge instead.
MAJOR delays on 95 North coming in from Chesterfield. A crash has the left lane, shoulder and center lane closed at Bells. Over a 3 mile backup. Use Route 1 instead.
A crash is slowing things down along 95 South at Chamberlayne. If you’re coming in from Lakeside take Route 301 or 295 instead.
Construction is due to run for 15-20 more minutes at the Huguenot Bridge. Please use the Willey Bridge through 8:20 at least. Detours coming up on air!
Here’s a shot from the area around the Huguenot Bridge.
Work is running late at the Huguenot Bridge. Closed in both directions thru 8am. Use the Willey Bridge instead.
Midlothian Tpke. will have intermittent lane closures- down to one lane in each direction. Expect delays between Chippenham and Boulevard from 6am- 10am and from 3pm – 7pm.
95 North and South has scheduled construction between Laburnum and Boulevard today. You may want to avoid the area from 8:30am until 3pm. Right lane will be closed.
An early morning crash had the right lane closed on 95 North at the Blvd. Looking great now but some construction on Richmond Henrico Tpke and Dove Street
could slow you down.
Again, VDOT reopened the Huguenot Bridge around 12:20 p.m. this afternoon.
