RICHMOND, Va. -- A multi-vehicle wreck closed Interstate 95 north for about two hours and snarled traffic in Richmond Sunday afternoon.
VDOT officials said just after 4:45 p.m. that all lanes of I-95 north are closed near the mile marker 75.
As a result, officials said traffic was being diverted off the interstate at the exit for I-64 east and 7th Street.
"Motorists should use alternate routes and expect delays," officials warned.
