Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews will be closing alternating lanes for resurfacing on the Benjamin Harrison Bridge beginning on Monday, May 18, 7 a.m. and ending Saturday, June 19, 12 p.m.

There will be a flagging operation in place with an 11-foot lane restriction for the duration of the project.

Drivers should expect delays of up to 15 minutes during the flagging operation as a pilot car leads traffic across the bridge. Marine traffic will remain unaffected.
