CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Several roadways damaged by recent flooding in Central Virginia, will remain closed as crews continue repairs, according to VDOT.

Those roadways include multiple locations in Hanover County and some areas in Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties.

Officials are reminding motorists not to drive around or move barricades or signage near damaged areas.

VDOT said in some cases they are bringing in specialists to develop repair plans because certain wash out locations present unique challenges
