HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — VDOT and Virginia State Police will conduct controlled traffic slowdowns on Interstate 295 in Henrico County beginning Tuesday night.
Crews are installing new overhead digital message signs. Work begins at 11 p.m. Tuesday and is expected to wrap up Friday morning.
A slow roll is a traffic management operation where a traffic gap is created by reducing approaching traffic speeds. This gap allows work to safely take place free of traffic. Drivers should expect periodic stops and speeds lowered to between 5 and 10 mph.
Signs will be posted in advance of the work locations notifying traffic of ongoing slow roll operations.
Officials say drivers should obey the reduced speeds or find an alternate route to stay out of the work zone. Anyone with questions can call VDOT's customer service center at 800-367-7623.
