Interstate work near Virginia could cause delays

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Motorists will be dealing with construction on Interstate 77 near the West Virginia-Virginia border over the next week as crews work to mill out existing asphalt.

The project at the southbound on and off ramps of Exit 1 comes as part of the final reconstruction project between Bluefield and Princeton.

The state Department of Transportation says the work may impact traffic on U.S. Route 52, and periodic stopping of traffic may be required as crews work in curves and at the ends of ramps.

The work is expected to wrap up April 26.
