Virginia interstate shut down for commercial vehicle vs. sign collision

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) closed a portion of I-64 on Thursday morning for a crash involving a commercial vehicle and an overhead highway sign.

Shortly before 10 a.m. on September 5, VDOT reported that all lanes of westbound I-64 in Henrico County were closed near the I-295 exit.

Local outlet 12 On Your Side reports that the truck stopped at a weigh station prior to the crash.

“Please find alternate routes if traveling through the area as crews work to safely reopen the interstate,” said the Henrico Police Department.
