The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is prepared for increased traffic that's expected during the Thanksgiving holiday.
VDOT is suspending highway work zones during the five-day peak Thanksgiving travel period to reduce congestion on interstates and highways. Lane closures will be lifted on most major roads in Virginia from noon today, Wednesday, Nov. 26, until noon Monday, Dec. 1.
"All travelers should do their part to drive safely during this Thanksgiving holiday by limiting distractions, obeying speed limits, sharing the road and taking breaks to rest at one of our many Safety Rest Areas," said VDOT Commissioner Charlie Kilpatrick. "We want everyone to reach their destination safely."
