Members include the Secretary of Transportation and the VDOT Commissioner.

NewsChannel 3 Investigator Laurie Simmons will be asking them about the potholes on Interstate 264 – and if VDOT plans to foot the bill for the cars that were damaged when they struck potholes.

Look for her report today on NewsChannel 3, starting First at Four.

The Virginia Department of Transportation reports the construction on the James River Bridge this past weekend did not cause any significant traffic problems.

A spokeswoman for the department, Brook Grow, stated no accidents were reported, the traffic flow was not congested, and construction workers created crossover lanes to pave the way for future work.

Construction on the bridge is planned to continue up to eight more weeks.

Therefore, Grow is advising motorist and drivers to leave plenty of room between vehicles when crossing the bridge, and "to use extreme caution in wet weather."

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)’s Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) station in Hampton Roads has moved to a new station. Traffic information is now airing on 1680AM. 

Previously located at 610AM, the Highway Advisory Radio station advises the public of current traffic conditions on Hampton Roads highways, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The transition to 1680AM began early last week and was completed by Friday, May 4, on the Southside and the Peninsula.

“VDOT is always looking for ways to improve upon the traffic and travel information system. The change to a higher frequency could potentially improve the sound quality of the broadcasts,” said Dwayne Cook, VDOT Regional Operations Director, Eastern Region.
