Oversize load to travel north through Virginia tonight, expect significant delays

RICHMOND — Motorists should expect slow moving traffic, which is expected to cause significant travel delays, between 7 p.m. Aug. 26 and 5 a.m. Aug. 27 on I-77 north, I-81 north, I-66 east and I-495 north for a scheduled oversize load traveling north from North Carolina through Virginia to Maryland.

The oversize load will take up more than two lanes of traffic, which is expected to cause significant travel delays. As part of the approved route, there will be multiple planned pull-off locations to allow traffic to pass. Drivers are encouraged to avoid these routes overnight and check 511 ahead of necessary travel to avoid delays.

Virginia State Police will be supporting the transport by escorting the vehicle, and tow partners will be available to assist as needed.
