Alternating lane closures and traffic delays on Route 155 (Courthouse Road) in Providence Forge are expected to continue through August to accommodate crews that are working to widen shoulders and improve drainage along the roadway, VDOT officials say.

Work is taking place 8 a.m.-4 p.m. between the Charles City County line and Old Forge Road. Crews are currently working on the stretch of Route 155 in front of Providence Forge Post Office.

Also in the category of highway headaches, motorists traveling eastbound Interstate 64 between the Quinton and West Point exits (mile markers 205-220) on April 7-9 can expect alternating lane closures due to pothole patching overnight 9 p.m.-5 a.m.
