NEW KENT COUNTY, Va. -- A wreck caused backups along Interstate 64 east in New Kent County on Thanksgiving.

The crash was just past the exit for New Kent Highway (mile marker 206.2) and the interstate's eastbound left shoulder is closed, according to officials with VDOT.

As a result, traffic was backed up about 3 miles as of 12 p.m., officials said.

However, as of about 1:15 p.m. that backup appeared to have cleared.

Then a multi-vehicle crash around mile marker 206 closed the interstate's westbound left shoulder as of about 1 p.m.

"Motorists can expect delays," VDOT officials warned.

This is a developing story, so anyone with more information can email newstips@wtvr.com to send a tip.
