In the overnight hours Friday, Dec. 19 through Tuesday, Dec. 23, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close multiple lanes of I-395 North at Seminary Road for bridge demolition, according to the agency. Motorists should expect delays.
All traffic on I-395 North must exit at the Seminary Road exit (exit 4), and will be detoured across Seminary Road and back to I-395 North.
