STAUNTON, VA (Rocktown Now) — Bridge demolition may cause traffic delays on a couple of major roadways near Staunton.

Ken Slack from the Virginia Department of Transportation says contractors are widening the southbound I-81 bridge over Route 250.

“This week they’re doing some partial demolition work, Monday to Thursday nights, from 8pm till 7am. During those times, expect lane closures on southbound I-81 and both directions of Route 250.”

Slack adds that drivers should expect shoulder closures along Route 11 as contractors make sidewalk improvements from Mount Jackson to Edinburg, weekdays from 9am till 3pm.
