Multi-day lane closure in place Sunday (July 31) through 6 a.m. Wednesday, August 3
Due to bridge repairs on southbound Interstate 81 at mile marker 16.1 in Abingdon, a multi-day lane closure begins Sunday morning (July 31).
The right lane closure will begin at 7 a.m. Sunday, July 31 and will remain in place until 6 a.m. Wednesday, August 3. The closure is necessary to repair a hole in the bridge deck.
Local traffic is advised to seek alternate routes to avoid interstate traffic backups, which have the potential to be significant during peak afternoon travel times. Motorists traveling through the area should research alternate routes to avoid congestion or travel through the work zone during non-peak travel times such as mornings and overnight hours.
Use caution in this area and pay close attention to signs and message boards.
