UTILITY WORK TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE PORTION OF WINWOOD DRIVE AT EASTBOUND LASKIN ROAD
VIRGINIA BEACH - Beginning as early as Dec. 16, the Virginia Department of Transportation will close a portion of Winwood Drive at eastbound Laskin Road for approximately one week while contractor crews perform utility work. 

The closure, located near the Laskin Road Annex, will restrict turns onto Winwood Drive in this location, but mainline Laskin Road will remain open at all times.

While the work is underway, a signed detour will direct motorists to access Winwood Drive by continuing down eastbound Laskin Road (toward the oceanfront), turning onto the outside feeder lanes, and utilizing Fremac Drive and Reynard Drive before re-accessing Winwood Drive. 

This work is expected to take place from Dec. 16-23, with the detour and closure in place continuously during this time.

All work, part of the Laskin Road Bridge Replacement and Widening Project, is weather-dependent and subject to change.
