UTILITY WORK TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE PORTION OF WINWOOD DRIVE AT EASTBOUND LASKIN ROAD
VIRGINIA BEACH - Beginning as early as Jan. 14, the Virginia Department of Transportation will close a portion of Winwood Drive at eastbound Laskin Road for approximately one month while contractor crews perform utility work. 

The closure, located near the Laskin Road Annex, will restrict turns onto Winwood Drive in this location on the southside of Laskin Road, 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. Motorists traveling westbound on Laskin Road and attempting to access Winwood Drive on the southside of Laskin Road will make a U-turn and follow the same detour as eastbound traffic.

This work is expected to take approximately one month, 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.
