JAMES CITY COUNTY –
Due to events associated with the 2019 Commemoration scheduled to be held in Jamestown next week, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
encourages moto
rists to prepare for increased traffic, delays and interruptions in service along Interstate 64, the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry system and other roadways adjacent to the event locations.
VDOT anticipates traffic to be most heavily impacted starting as early as 6 a.m. Tuesday, July 30, during the celebration events hosted at the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center. Motorists should be prepared for potential closures on Jamestown Road (Route 31) from Greensprings Road (Route 614) to the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry dock. As a result, ferry service will be suspended during those times. For ferry traffic updates and operational status, motorists should call 1-800-VA-FERRY (1-800-823-3779).
Motorists are advised to use VDOT’s free traffic information tools to plan their travel and check for any delays or closures in the area. Real-time traffic information is available through the Virginia 511 traffic system accessed by:
- Downloading the 511VA smartphone app or 511-integrated Waze app.
- Visiting the 511 Virginia website or dialing 511 for traffic information on your phone.
- Following @511hamptonroads and @VaDOTHR on Twitter.
