GOOCHLAND COUNTY, Va. — A wreck involving a tractor-trailer carrying fuel early Saturday closed all lanes of Interstate 64 west in Goochland County "for an extended period."

VDOT officials said in an email around 3:15 a.m. that the wreck happened near Oilville Road.

"Travel lanes are expected to be closed for an extended period," officials wrote in a 9 a.m. email about the closure, which was between the Rockville, Manakin and Oilville exits.

Traffic was being diverted off the interstate at the exit for Route 623 (Exit 173). The detour continued onto US-250 west, then Route 617 north before returning back to the interstate.

"Motorists should seek alternate routes," officials warned.

However, all lanes had reopened and the scene was clear as of about 2:25 p.m.
